Health In the Real WorldFor years patients with life-altering illnesses have had online communities to share their subjective experiences. However, patients lacked objective measures to compare outcomes and track their conditions. By combing the power of traditional, subjective, community tools, objective measurements of medical outcomes, and a philosophy that this information can and should be shared, PatientsLikeMe is transforming the conversations between patients, doctors, researchers, and the pharmaceutical industry for diseases like ALS, MS, PD, HIV, and Mood Disorders. From Launch Pad at O'Reilly Where 2.0 Conference, Burlingame, CA, May 12, 2008.
