collaborative way to share information on

sites, wikis, and blogs.
Because of the constant changing nature of the internet, Web 2.0 is also constantly changing to meet user demand. It's application is expanding to sectors beyond marketing and business. One of these expansions it into the health care sector.
Health 2.0 is an emerging concept of health care that uses web 2.0 technologies to promote collaboration between patients, physicians, health care professionals, and other members of the health community. It's application is ever-changing, and the evidence for its effectiveness is still raw, but there's a lot of potential for this type of new technology to improve mental health education and mental health care.
