Medical Online Resources

SmartPatients

 The SmartPatients website is an online community for patients and families affected by a variety of illnesses. Its founders believe that patients are the most underutilized resource in healthcare, and they thought to capitalize on it. The greatest idea behind it to let patients learn about scientific developments related to their conditions at their own level through conversations, sharing their questions and concerns with other members, and use what they have learnt in the context of their own life. Besides, a built-in clinical trial search engine enables users to find trials, track the ones they are interested in, and discuss them with the community. It is very important since many treatment options, especially for cancers are only available through clinical trials.
