Health 2.0 Empowers Patients – Worries Doctors

Patient 2.0 Collaborative Care Worries Doctors

By Staff Reporters

Writing for Time, Bonnie Rochman digs into the ramifications of patients sharing information and tips online, an “empowerment movement” she calls “Patient 2.0.”

Society of Participatory Medicine

In the piece, she profiles the newly created Society for Participatory Medicine, which “encourages patients to learn as much as they can about their health and also helps doctors support patients on this data-intensive quest,” as well as PatientsLikeMe.com, a free service which makes its money by selling anonymized patient information.
