Medicine 2.0 is an international conference on Web 2.0 applications in health and medicine, organized and co-sponsored by the Journal of Medical Internet Research, the International Medical Informatics Association, the Centre for Global eHealth Innovation, CHIRAD, and a number of other sponsoring organizations.
Medicine 2.0 will contain a mix of traditional academic/research, practice and business presentations, keynote presentations, and panel discussions to discuss emerging issues.
Medicine 2.0 strives for an interdisciplinary mix of presenters from different disciplines (e.g. health care, social sciences, computer sciences, engineering, business) and with a different angle (research, practice, and business).
Participants are invited to either submit a 500 word abstract to propose a 15 minute single-presenter talk, or can submit a a 500 word panel proposal to present or discuss a topic in a 45-60 min session with 3-4 colleagues from other organizations/institutions (panel proposals with all authors from the same institution are discouraged). Panel presentations are the preferred format for non-research presentations.
