Ivor Kovic, MD is a unique blogger with a deep interest in web 2.0 and medicine. Now he launched the Health Blogs Observatory based on a great idea, to collect all the medical blogs in order to analyze the health blogosphere.
Health Blogs Observatory is an online research lab devoted to examination of the health blogosphere. It was created by the health bloggers and for the health bloggers.
Main goals of the project are:
- To conduct annual surveys of health bloggers, which would be designed, analyzed and openly published by the bloggers themselves
- To create the most comprehensive web directory of health blogs
- To nurture new ideas and facilitate future research collaborations between health bloggers
Two major characteristics of the Health Blogs Observatory are collaboration and openness. This is why I would like to invite all health/medical bloggers to join the community and start contributing to it by adding their blogs to the web directory and participating in the design of the health bloggers survey.
You can follow the project on Twitter, by RSS or just track the changes of the wiki.

It is a very unique and useful concept. Medical world is yet to harness Web 2.0 power.
May be lack of time prohibits people from doing this actively.
I would like to see more and more health professional on the net writing and discussing health.
If you ever wanted to make that change, internet empowers you completely.
One question?
How can I add my blog?
BTW. I got that. Thanks.
