He lives in Brooklyn and practice community medicine the mouse. His patients will contact us by Facebook and instant messaging, and web cam going consultation. This is a 2.0 doctor.

Jay Parkinson is an expert on web. His patients know him primarily through the website and has become a guru for the XXI century medicine 2.0.

How is a day in the life of a doctor 2.0?
Now I am a little face of my company and working with other doctors while I proceed to design and manage the website Facebook. It is my dream to work because I also have the good fortune to travel a lot and think that doctors around the world can improve their way of practicing medicine

When did you become aware of the role that the Internet would play in future medicine?
A few years ago-and quite natural. I am very fond of photography and went up to my Flickr images, so many friends who came to see the photos left me comments or send me e-mails with questions medical drawing just finish the race. I started to think it was a different way of practicing medicine, which improved the physician-patient communication and above all gave me independence. Then I started to implement it in my own neighborhood, Brooklyn.

What is the profile of your patients?
They are normal people with normal problems. Are aged between 2 and 88 years and do not need to know much more than going into Facebook and use email.

Many doctors believe they receive too much medical information not verified by the Internet. Should we fail to find information on our own or learn how to select?
There is to encourage communication. If one of my patients tell me something that has found the Internet I can get the link and also my job is to translate this information to assist the interpreter. In fact, the same way that we prescribe medications, prescribing links is good because the information can be helpful and patient should know what and where you can find.

Are you a medical example of 2.0, but can imagine what the doctor 3.0?
-You will have to be related to each other or the Internet itself. The network solves many communication problems between doctors and patients, and using appropriate platforms that will increase further. We will also have more tools to help patients manage their own health; Twitter, for example, has launched Qwitter, a social network that helps you quit smoking vinculándote with more people who also are trying. Google also works in this direction, for example Flu Google Trends, a tool that relates to search users with the possibility of the emergence of an influenza epidemic.

What would happen if one day you read in newspapers has fallen for an unlimited internet?
- How to disappear online? I can not imagine it is quite impossible.

He is currently working on a project called Hellohealth. What is it?
Basically, this is a Facebook-oriented physician. A platform where patients can find the profiles of thousands of doctors, subscribe and you prefer to receive assistance via the Internet in a much more immediate and cheaper than health insurance. 2.0 will be a purely medical tool and I think very useful. Appear increasingly tools for our patients manage their own health network, Twitter and Google are already working on these fronts.
