ScienceRoll has a post titled Web Directories of Medicine and Web 2.0 which links to several other medical 2.0 blogs. And they note:
What is the difference between medicine 2.0 and health 2.0? Walter Jessen has the perfect answer:
Medicine 2.0 is science of maintaining and/or restoring human health through the study, diagnosis and treatment of patients utilizing web 2.0 internet-based services, including web-based community sites, blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, folksonomies (tagging) and rss, to collaborate, exchange information and share knowledge.
Health 2.0, a new concept of healthcare, also utilizes web 2.0 internet-based services but is focused on healthcare value (meaning outcome/price). Patients, physicians, providers and payers use competition at the medical condition level over the full cycle of care as a catalyst for improving safety, efficiency and quality of healthcare delivery.
