Unlocking Chronic Condition Solutions With StuffThatWorks
Living with a chronic condition can be overwhelming, especially when searching for the most effective treatments. Often, we find ourselves spending hours online, seeking answers because we believe no one has thoroughly researched which treatments work best for people like us. The truth is, traditional medical research is limited by small study groups, leaving us with treatments that aren’t optimized for our unique needs.
But there’s hope. Just like Wikipedia, Waze, or Kickstarter, when individuals come together for a common cause, the results can be groundbreaking. Enter crowdsourcing – a powerful approach that can revolutionize healthcare. At StuffThatWorks, we believe that patients hold invaluable knowledge about their conditions, and by gathering this collective wisdom, we can build the most extensive patient-reported knowledge base for every chronic condition.
Building the World's Richest Patient-Reported Knowledge Base
At StuffThatWorks, our mission is clear: to create a vast and up-to-date database of treatment effectiveness for chronic conditions.
Together, we can:
- Uncover valuable insights about the underlying causes.
- Identify symptom patterns, co-morbidities, and treatments.
- Make informed decisions about our health and well-being.
- Make a significant impact on advancing medical knowledge.
Finding the best treatment for you
If you’re dealing with an ongoing medical condition, mild or severe, we understand your quest to find the most effective treatment. Hours of research, conversations with others, and scanning online groups are dedicated to this purpose.
What if there was one place that compiled data and experiences from thousands of patients, making it easy to discover which treatments work best for someone like you?
Crowdsourcing Insights for Personalized Care
Our process is simple yet powerful.
Patients dealing with chronic conditions share their experiences through an organized survey.
The data is then anonymized, normalized, and analyzed using smart machine-learning algorithms to identify the most effective treatments.
These insights are shared with the community, where members can engage in discussions, offer comments, and pose new research questions.
Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs):
A Game-Changer for Medical Research
Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) are invaluable data gathered from real-world patients about their health and specific medical conditions. This information offers doctors a comprehensive view of their patients’ health status, aiding in triage, identifying comorbidities, and reducing side effects. Traditionally, PROs were gathered within studies or by doctors, limiting the data’s scale and ongoing collection.
