Abstract:

The Spanish health system has recently been marked by the emergence of more active patients that are characterized by being better informed about their disease, having a more participatory attitude, wanting to influence further in making decisions about their health and claiming their rights as patients. Therefore, this article aims to report on how the introduction of Web 2.0 technologies can contribute to the shaping of more active patients. To this end, we conducted 14 semi-structured interviews to patients and representatives of patient associations who have used Web 2.0 technologies to interact with other patients or to communicate with health professionals. Among the results, we stress that Web 2.0 technologies provide greater access to health-related information, improve communication between patients and health professionals, and allow the creation of new spaces of interaction between patients. All these contribute to the formation of a more active role on patients.
