Among the discussion areaswill be social media, web search, tools for consumers, social networking, andother innovative tools and technologies being used in healthcare.
Within3's cofounder Michael Markus Ph.D. said, "Some of the most excitinginnovations in online health care will be on display at the Health 2.0conference and we are happy to be taking part - especially as it pertains toweb 2.0 and social networking. For Within3, the term "social networking" isoften misapplied when describing what we do. While our platform features someof the most advanced social networking technology in existence, our focus isclearly on professional networking vs. social. In this way, we are not simplya "MySpace for physicians" - our members leverage Within3 for real consults,real research, and real improvements in patient outcomes."
