Analysis of Web 2.0 Technologies for Medical applications: Turning I-CAN into a collaborative tool

  • 1.1 Motivation I-CAN do it! That is the motto of the Centre for Disability Studies (CDS) and their instrument for the classification and assessment of support needs I-CAN. Since 2001, the CDS and partners are developing a tool to help support services to determine the current and future support needs of persons with disabilities. The current version 4.2 is the first web based tool and was introduced recently in 2008. However, the CDS is already looking ahead and is thinking about improvements for the following versions of their tool. With the huge success of Web 2.0 applications for the general use, also the health informatics sector got conscious of this technology and developed their own Web 2.0 tools. These applications, called Medicine 2.0 applications, are buzzwords in the health informatics community that appear in the press more and more often.
