As I’ve mentioned previously, choosing a website for health information can be a daunting task. Luckily, others have already done the work.
Here is some information about a few more sites:
CaringBridge: “We’re here for anyone who is coping with illness: big or small, short term or long, for as long as you need. CaringBridge is online 24/7, accessible to anyone, anywhere. CaringBridge eases communication and encourages love and support when it matters most. You can share as much or as little as you choose on your protected site. Tap into your community of support during a health event. It’s your very own health social network.”
What Matters Now “provides free personal websites for people whose lives have been affected by serious illness or injury. Our intention is to help people be surrounded by the love and support of family and friends, and have space for reflection when facing a life-changing situation. What Matters Now is offered by The Samvara Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.”
Medivizor: “Founded by an interdisciplinary team of entrepreneurs with medical and information technology expertise, Medivizor is the first to provide truly personalized information updates for people with serious medical conditions.” (And here is a good article about Medivizor.)
CaféWell “was created to provide a safe, secure and anonymous health care destination that connects you with other people who share your health care interests and needs. Caféwell is the only destination that exists for one reason “health.” The Caféwell Community is there to address your needs, from chronic condition support, to healthy lifestyle tips and challenges. CaféWell understands how complex and difficult the health care system is to navigate. We make it easy to get the health information you need, when and where you want it.”
