ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Health 2.0

Health 2.0 is like playing doctor but with computers! Instead of just using a toy medical kit, grown-ups use cool tech tools to help them stay healthy, learn about medicine, and connect with their doctors.

Imagine playing with a toy stethoscope to check your heartbeat, now imagine a grown-up doctor using a real stethoscope that sends the sound of your heartbeat to a computer where it can be analyzed in more detail. Health 2.0 uses technology like this to help doctors and patients work together to keep us all healthy.

We also use cool apps and websites to help us understand health topics better. Just like playing a game on a tablet to practice math, we can use apps and websites to learn more about topics like diabetes, exercise, and nutrition.

Overall, Health 2.0 means using technology to stay healthy, learn about healthcare and medicines, and work with our doctors to take care of our bodies.
