There is a VERY interesting discussion going on over at the e-Patients.net blog about what the heck “Health 2.0″ actually means, and whether it can really help people.

Cyberchondria: Is Online Health Information Good for Patients? (Medscape)
Microsoft’s Ryen White and Eric Horvitz conducted a study into the growing condition dubbed “cyberchondria,” a phenomenon that describes anxieties about health instigated by reading information online. They compared the results of online searches for information about common symptoms including “headache,” “muscle twitches,” and “chest pain” between generic and medical search engines. The results alone are enough to give you palpitations.

Several new stories popped up today:
Microsoft’s secret weapon against Google: Health search – although this reviewer sees a some temporary advantage over Google Health search, he notes that even more important is a search within a simple-to-use electronic medical records system for consumers and does not see either as doing a good job of this yet
