Who We Are

PatientReaction, a medical social network and patient resource!

Our main objective at PatientReaction is to create a comprehensive medical social network for patients or their caregivers so that it will have a positive impact on patient outcomes. Empowering patients/caregivers is very important to us. With medical error as the third leading cause of death at present in the United States (BMJ 2016; 353 :i2139), sharing one's medical experiences on an unbiased platform is clearly essential.

Users of PatientReaction will be able to gather knowledge from other patients with their exact condition based upon their past experiences. Such information to a recently diagnosed patient or a patient at the end of their care plan is equally valuable. Patients will now be more informed regarding their illness.

By amassing a large amount of patient experiences covering all diagnoses, we can provide a huge resource to all current and recently diagnosed patients. An unbiased open forum of patient experiences without influence from outside sources is absolutely essential. We hope this platform will be used by patients and their caregivers alike so that they will become more informed when dealing with their current medical crisis.

Site / Application Overview

PatientReaction contains over 8,000 of the most common conditions that affect mankind and the list is ever growing. Our easy to use platform gives patients and caregivers a way to share their medical experiences via personal blogs, public posts, messaging and more. Registration is quick and easy and we stress anonymity as we do not sell any personal information to third party companies.

You must know your diagnosis in order to use the site, PatientReaction is not a self diagnosis site. If for some reason you don't know the exact spelling of your condition(diagnosis) you can obtain it by calling your doctor or insurance company. Upon joining the platform, share your health care experiences for the benefit of patients around the world. As our community grows, users will be able to learn from other patients past medical experiences so that you can be more informed about your condition. That is not to say that medical advice from trained medical professionals is not very important, it is.

Our goal is to enable you to see where other patients with your same condition went for care, what doctors they saw, essentially what was the course of their care and most importantly what was the outcome. You now have the ability to gain important medical information from other patients who have been recently diagnosed, have a chronic condition or fully recovered. Each perspective is equally important. We believe to gather medical knowledge from those patients that suffer or have suffered with your exact illness is just plain common sense. Learn from other patients failures and successes.

With time we aim to amass a large amount of personal experiences dealing with every diagnosis on this planet. Whether you use the platform regularly or simply write a few blogs based on your health care experiences, your contributions will give support and enlighten others fighting the same illness. Join today to get started.
