There is no concise-precise definition of Health 2.0 as it is a dynamic construct. But, according to Holt, Furst, Crespo, Marcinko, Hetico, www.HealthDictionarySeries.com, and many others; Health 2.0 may be defined as an amalgam of many ideas. Most notably, our best definition:
“Health 2.0 is internet cloud enabled participatory healthcare model characterized by the ability to rapidly generate, share, classify and summarize individual health information with the goal of improving health care systems, experiences and outcomes via integration of patients and stakeholders. It is a modern concept about change in how patients, physician, payers, employers and all stakeholders relate to each other, and the industry, in a personalized manner using new technologies.”

Alisa Miller, of nursing portal RNCentral.com, says that Health 2.0 embraces the idea of bringing health care into the community of physicians, patients, and those in the health care industry together with technology and the Internet to provide the best possible health care environment.
