Kubben"],"abstract":"Background: Web 2.0 represents a shift from publishing to participation, allowing users to add value to online content. This paradigm shift can be applied to healthcare, termed 'Medicine 2.0', which enhances knowledge sharing among healthcare professionals and patients. Neurosurgery 2.0 aims to leverage these Web 2.0 techniques to improve clinical decision-making in neurosurgery. Summary: Neurosurgery 2.0 will serve as an online platform providing decision support systems accessible on various devices. The initiative will begin with existing systems for specific surgical treatments and expand based on feedback from the neurosurgical community. This approach aims to bridge the 'know-do gap' and improve patient outcomes through collaborative knowledge sharing. Conclusion: The development of Neurosurgery 2.0 emphasizes the importance of integrating modern web-based tools in neurosurgery. By inviting input from the global neurosurgical community, the initiative seeks to create relevant resources that enhance clinical practice and patient care. Feedback and suggestions from practitioners will be crucial in shaping future decision support systems.
