Health Forum 2.0 Northeast: What's Next for e-Health? October 7, 2008

The Health 2.0 Northeast forum brings together entrepreneurs, investors, technologists, healthcare professionals, insurers, and others interested in the emerging Health 2.0 sector throughout the Northeast to discuss, brainstorm, and act on developing the emerging convergence of health care and social networking.

Over the past year, there has been tremendous buzz about the emergence of Health 2.0 companies positioned to revolutionize healthcare by providing services directly to providers and consumers through the use of the Internet and digital media.

Boston has become a mecca for Health 2.0, with large players such as Google Health and Microsoft recently entering partnerships with some of our leading hospitals and companies.

New England is clearly positioned to maintain leadership in this new field. Come hear representatives from leading e-health companies share their stories, comment on their successes and failures, and evaluate where the industry stands today.

The key question is no longer “What is Health 2.0?” but rather “Where are we now?” Other questions we'll address: How do we get to ROI? How is Health 2.0 empowering consumers? How will Health 2.0 impact the US healthcare crisis? What is the role of Health 2.0 in containing costs and improving quality?
