Of the above apps, Carol looks very interesting to us - as an app trying to solve inefficiencies in the current healthcare system. Carol describes itself as a "care marketplace" and it allows you to shop for "local clinics, doctors and medical care". It aims to put consumers in control of which healthcare providers you see and how much you want to pay, by using "care packages" (basically, a set of goods and services bundled up for convenience). It also provides ratings, comparison tools and enables you to book online.
It is a beautifully designed site and I can see such a service becoming more widely used in the near future, as healthcare red tape slowly unravels. In the short term, as with most health 2.0 apps, it will struggle to fit into current health system processes and will probably mean extra work for consumers. But longer term, using the Internet to route around healthcare system inefficiencies is one of the best 'use cases' of web 2.0 we'll ever get!

Susan SmithHealth 2.0, web-based apps and services for the healthcare sector, is a nascent but potentially huge market for web 2.0. As of now, many of these apps have an emphasis on communication, information sharing and community. These are relatively easy things to address using Web tools. However we're starting to see health 2.0 apps try to tackle the enormous inefficiencies in the healthcare system - check out our description of Carol.com below. Also, in the longer term, we will see the Web being used in medical diagnosis and practice.

2.0, web-based apps and services for the healthcare sector, is a
nascent but potentially huge market for web 2.0. As of now, many of
these apps have an emphasis on communication, information sharing and
community. These are relatively easy things to address using Web tools.
However we're starting to see health 2.0 apps try to tackle the
enormous inefficiencies in the healthcare system - check out our
description of Carol.com below. Also, in the longer term, we will see
the Web being used in medical diagnosis and practice.
So what are the leading health 2.0 apps right now? The eDrugSearch blog has an informative interview with Matthew Holt and Indu Subaiya, two of the organizers of the upcoming Health 2.0 conference on March 3-4 in San Diego. In the interview, Holt and Subaiya discuss their current favorites.
