CrowdHealing is collaborative patient centered care
Weheal uses proven social networking concepts to pioneer a revolutionary CrowdHealing platform, bringing patients, professionals and advocates together in collaborative “think-tank” environments to
- facilitate discussion and sharing
- Resolve issues facing specific patient communities
- Collect and share relevant data with communities enabling educated and informed treatment decisions
Crowdhealing is for everyone. Every human being is confronted with a medical issue at some point in their life.
