Health 2.0 Accelerator
12:00 to 3:00 PM, Topaz RoomThe Accelerator meeting has been generously underwritten by CommerceNet
At the end of Health 2.0 in September 2007, CommerceNet’s Marty Tenenbaum proposed the creation of an industry initiative to accelerate the Health 2.0 vision. This initiative would do for Health 2.0 what CommerceNet did for e-commerce, educating and catalyzing the market through visionary integration projects that demonstrate the potential of Health 2.0 to improve people's lives. This first organizational meeting will forge a direction for the Health 2.0 Accelerator, exploring potential projects and organizational structures.
Come prepared to share your ideas about the need for a Health 2.0 Accelerator and what it should focus on: What are the problems that are preventing your technology or organization getting specific tasks done? What standards are needed to facilitate data exchange and mash-ups? What partnerships would make your services or products more valuable? How could a Health 2.0 Accelerator help?
