As Internet access proliferates and technology becomes more accessible, the number of people online has been increasing. Web 2.0 and the social computing phenomena (such as Facebook, Friendster, Flickr, YouTube, Blogger, and MySpace) are creating a new reality on the Web: Users are changing from consumers of Web-available information and resources to generators of information and content. Moving beyond telehealth and Web sites, the push toward Personal Health Records has emerged as a new option for patients to take control of their medical data and to become active participants in the push toward widespread digitized healthcare. There is minimal research on the impact of Web 2.0 in healthcare. This paper reviews the changing patient-physician relationship in the Healthcare 2.0 environment, explores the technological challenges, and highlights areas for research.
随着互联网接入的普及以及技术变得更加易于获取，上网人数一直在增加。Web 2.0和社交计算现象（如Facebook、Friendster、Flickr、YouTube、Blogger和MySpace）正在网络上创造一个新的现实：用户正在从网络可用信息和资源的消费者转变为信息和内容的生产者。除了远程医疗和网站之外，向个人健康记录的推进已成为患者掌控自己医疗数据并积极参与广泛数字化医疗保健推进的一种新选择。关于Web 2.0对医疗保健影响的研究极少。本文回顾了医疗保健2.0环境中不断变化的医患关系，探讨了技术挑战，并突出了研究领域。
