Abstract

Web 2.0 is characterized by the development of the Internet from its initial static content to a dynamic and participatory content, and by the large place taken by social networks. The growing interest of health actors for information and communication via these new media is gradually but lastingly modifying the practice of nephrology. These developments require nephrologists to understand the issues, rules and risks associated with these digital tools. The present article summarizes the main practical aspects of communication with patients and health professionals and addresses the important issue of the digital identity of the caregiver in the new field of connected nephrology.
