Modern Healthcare Systems that have embraced Internet technologies are evolving towards self management from a clinical knowledge perspective. In contrast, patients are using Web 2.0 technologies and developing social networking communities for healthcare which are evolving towards becoming user-generated online medical portals or Health 2.0. Semantic Web or Web 3.0 is now being developed by adding Artificial Intelligence to internet services to deliver the next generation of personalised services. A grand challenge is to define Web 3.0 solutions for healthcare. A pioneering session at SWWS 08 focuses on these research developments in a seamlessly connected health community which brings together Web, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 technologies for personalised healthcare.
