Hi, I wanted to ask if any of the group members might be
interested in offering their feedback on the preview version
of a new health site? The site is trying to focus as much on
wellness and optimal health as on illness, so this board seems
like it would be a good group to help dissect its good, and
not so good, points before it opens to the public.
A little background. 7 years ago I started a website called
Remedyfind. Remedyfind is a free, non-commercial and unbiased
site (not sponsored by any drug companies etc.) that lets
individuals rate the effectiveness of the treatments they have
used for specific health conditions. I started it to try to
find help with treatments for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (which
I've had for some 20 years.) Over time, the site has grown to
cover more than 100 health conditions, from mood and anxiety
disorders, to autoimmune conditions etc..
RemedyFind has been purchased by a new website called
Revolution Health. Revolution Health was created by Steve Case
(AOL founder) and others, with the goal of bringing
constructive change to US health care (yes, an ambitious
goal!). In the next few weeks, RemedyFind is going to be
merged with the Revolution Health site. What you see on
RemedyFind now (unbiased lists of treatment options; strict
privacy protection) is what you'll see on Revolution Health,
only better. Revolution Health also has a lot of other
interesting features, including letting users rate doctors,
clinics and hospitals, chart the course of their health/mood,
create blogs etc.. Eventually there will be things like
comparison shopping for health insurance plans, a membership
program for health coaching / help with second opinions,
insurance claims etc..
The Revolution Health site is in preview mode now and I was
wondering if some members might be willing to join and offer
feedback before it opens to the public later this month? The
more input we can get now the better. If you have a minute,
please go to
http://www.revolutionhealth.com/preview?code=YQ1zrIG6u3 and
register (it's free).
All the best, Brett Hodges
