[[File:Swan Health 2.0 model.jpg|thumb|A model of Health 2.0]]
Health 2.0 refers to the use of a diverse set of technologies including [[Connected Health]], [[electronic medical records]], [[mHealth]], [[telemedicine]], and the use of the Internet by patients themselves such as through [[blog]]s, [[
Much of the potential for change from Health 2.0 is facilitated by combining technology driven trends such as Personal Health Records with social networking —"[which] may lead to a powerful new generation of health applications, where people share parts of their electronic health records with other consumers and 'crowdsource' the collective wisdom of other patients and professionals."<ref name="ReferenceA"/> Traditional models of medicine had patient records (held on paper or a proprietary [[computer system]]) that could only be accessed by a physician or other [[Health profession|medical professional]]. Physicians acted as gatekeepers to this information, telling patients test results when and if they deemed it necessary. Such a model operates relatively well in situations such as acute care, where information about specific blood results would be of little use to a [[Laity|lay person]], or in general practice where results were generally benign. However, in the case of complex chronic diseases, [[Mental illness|psychiatric disorders]], or diseases of unknown etiology patients were at risk of being left without well-coordinated care because data about them was stored in a variety of disparate places and in some cases might contain the opinions of healthcare professionals which were not to be shared with the patient. Increasingly, [[medical ethics]] deems such actions to be [[Paternalism|medical paternalism]], and they are discouraged in [[Medicine|modern medicine]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Bassford|first=H.
