Social Media Platform that Connects People with Similar Health Conditions

Healthcare

Users upload data from their healthcare provider – anonymously and for free – and receive a notification to say how many people are clinically alike, with each one scored out of 100 for “alike-ness”. Users can then reach out to each other and chat. The alternative – a simple internet search – may allow a fibromyalgia sufferer, for example, to find a relevant group or forum. But narrowing the field to find people who also have Crohn’s disease and anxiety would be tricky... Australia is tipped for expansion in the near future.

Jeremy, could you connect me with these people and explore how we might bring this innovation to the U.S. - especially helping our veterans better connect?

Here are a couple of sites about my own work:

Thanks for your Question Jerry. Jeremy Ungar, our Israeli Editor, has replied:

As I’m not based in the U.S. please see if you can download the app. or search online: Alike, or Alike.Health or Alike Health. Website:https://www.alike.health/

“Alike is up and running in the USA, where 100,000 users have so far uploaded their medical data – anonymously – plus details of age, gender, BMI, exercise, any vitamins or supplements they take – and started interacting with others.”

I have reached out to their founder nonetheless and found this employee in N.Y. - https://www.linkedin.com/in/roni-faitelson-094206117/

London scientists pioneer ‘game changing’ imaging technique to treat cancer in children

London surgeons have pioneered a “game-changing” infrared imaging technique that could aid the treatment of cancer in children.The technique, called “molecular imaging”, involves the injection of chemicals into the bloodstream which act as imaging probes. These are attracted to cancerous cells in the body and, once attached, light up through a process called “fluorescence”. This in turn lights up the tumour.Dr Stefano Giuliani, Consultant Paediatric Surgeon at Great Ormond Street Hospital, said, 'This technique effectively lights up the tumour, allowing surgeons to remove it with unprecedented precision'. The technique will benefit children with cancerous tumours.More information: https://au.news.yahoo.com/london-scientists-pioneer-game-changing-1250

It is time we talked about miscarriage

"Every year miscarriage affects up to 150,000 Australians and the people that love them.

Combining in-depth investigation with lived experience, Hard to Bear charts a course to improve the system and change the lives of anyone directly or indirectly touched by early pregnancy loss, with practical and generous advice and suggestions along the way.
