Social network based on the disease
A wonderful project called PatientsLikeMe deservedly won a great article in the NY Times. This is a social network that brings together patients from all over the world for simple formal signs: 1) symptoms of the disease; 2) medications taken.
The patient enters in his profile what drugs the doctor prescribed for him and in what quantity. After that, he can view full statistics on patients with the same diseases and / or medications. The total number by country, breakdown by age and sex, by the number of medications taken, etc. All these people are willing to share tips and talk about their experiences of treatment. This is a specific medical care, as well as invaluable moral support. All case histories and treatments are open for comparison and analysis.
