The content of the Medicine 2.0 Congress will be partly driven by the participants. Participants were invited to submit abstracts of presentations and panel proposals [submissions are now closed - though you may contact the organizers to see if there are any possibilities to squeeze something in].
Medicine 2.0 will contain a mix of traditional academic/research, practice and business presentations, keynote presentations, and panels to discuss emerging issues. We strive for an interdisciplinary mix of presenters from different disciplines (e.g. health care, social sciences, computer sciences, engineering) and with different angles (research, practice, and business).
Examples for topics that are within the scope of the conference include the following:
• Collaborative Filtering and recommender technologies
• Consumer empowerment
• Personal health records and Web 2.0
• New models for collaborative biomedical research, academic / scholarly communication, publishing and peer review, e.g. what is the role of blogs and wikis?
• New models of e-learning, patient education, medical training and continuing medical education
• Youth and digital learning
• Business models in a Web 2.0 environment: User-generated content is free - so who makes money how? What is the role of the private sector?
• Developing and nurturing online communities for health
• The nature and dynamics of social networks in health
• Web 2.0 approaches for clinical practice, clinical research, quality monitoring, public health and biosurveillance
• How patient - physicians relationship change based on Web 2.0 platforms
• Virtual health care learning environments (web 3D, Second Life applications)
• Use of Web 2.0 applications in health care and education (eg YouTube)
• Semantic Web ("Web 3.0") applications
• Ethical & legal issues, confidentiality and privacy

By the way: Medicine 2.0 is the successor conference to MEDNET 2006, and is organized by the same team - have a look at the MEDNET Final Program to get an impression of the scope and caliber of that conference.
