There’s no better time to register to attend the Health 2.0 Fall Conference, being held October 7-8 at the Hilton San Francisco. Rates will increase on Wednesday, October 6, so reserve your spot today! The Health 2.0 conference series is the leading showcase of cutting-edge technologies in health care, including Online Communities, Search and lightweight Tools for consumers to manage their health and connect to providers online. Since 2007, the conference has featured the most innovative activities within the healthcare system, and has sparked the brightest conversations between technology entrepreneurs, patient activists, providers, healthcare leaders and government representatives.
This year’s conference will look at the “traditional” Health 2.0 areas like vertical search, online social networks, and tools for consumers. But the conference will also focus on the emergence of the data utility layer–exemplified by Microsoft HealthVault and Google Health–and will be examining the impact of the huge growth of social media outside of health care on Health 2.0.
Keynotes include Tim O’Reilly, godfather of Web 2.0 and Jeff Goldsmith, America’s leading health futurist. The conference will also include the unveiling of Sharecare, Jeff Arnold’s new consumer venture partnering with Dr Oz. There will be more than 100 demos and speakers, and more than 15 brand-new company introductions. Sponsors of the Health 2.0 Fall conference include Cisco, Kaiser Permanente, Microsoft HealthVault, Myca, RightHealth, MedEncentive, and more.

The Health 2.0 conference will feature the finale of the Health 2.0 Developer Challenge, as well as case-studies of how Health 2.0 technologies are really changing healthcare.
