The Business Case for Health 2.0

Search in the Long Tail & Intelligence in Communities

Much of the promise of Health 2.0 is in searching for and finding exact personalized health information content, especially for rare or hard to categorize conditions. Much of that information is in social networks. Matthew Holt and Indu Subaiya will introduce a new framework looking at the evolution of search into the long tail. There'll be demonstrations of search and social networks, and reaction.
