For the second year I attended Med 2.0. Just like last year I covered the conference for eAJKD. It is a fascinating look at the influences of social media, the internet and mobile technology on medicine and health. Please take a look at these posts:
- Why Medicine 2.0
- Susan Michie and the science of changing behavior
- Twitter: listening to a million conversations at once
- My very short time on stage at Med 2.0
- Technology for the elderly
- Closing Keynote, the present and future of sensors
Great blog post with video of Sherry Pagoto’s talk, Hashtag your way to Health.

It was a great conference and if you are interested they are holding it in Hawaii next year, but I’m thinking about checking out MedX instead.
