Abstract

This paper considers how Medicine 2.0 features can be added to an existing e-health application known as the I-CAN (Instrument for the Classification and Assessment of Support Needs). One of the biggest problems with a social networking feature based around health concerns is the issue of privacy. Even though participation is on a completely unsolicited, opt-in basis, there are access and privacy issues involved in such a tool. A preliminary design proposal is presented which takes into account the needs, responsibilities, rights and abilities of the (direct and indirect) users.
