What is uHealth?
First we had a tsunami of e-words including ‘eHealth’, around 1999. Then everything was labeled 2.0, including health, around 2006 . Apparently now it is time for u-terms. uHealth is the newest buzz word on my lexicon. A little bit of history to revisit the definitions of eHealth and Health 2.0.
