Unfortunately, I feel disconnected from the patients that we assist & am excited to learn about technologies that can help patients more directly. I've also been trained to really love data! The combination of real quantitative data, direct patient interaction, community & emphasis on preventative medicine is very exciting. I'll stay tuned to see how you grow this business, improve patient care and help lower health care costs... Thanks... Fantastic Article in the Times Magazine

As an employee of a large medical device company, I know that our technology ultimately improves patient care. Unfortunately, I feel disconnected from the patients that we assist & am excited to learn about technologies that can help patients more directly.

I’ve also been trained to really love data! The combination of real quantitative data, direct patient interaction, community & emphasis on preventative medicine is very exciting.

I’ll stay tuned to see how you grow this business, improve patient care and help lower health care costs…

Thanks…

I'm a physician with an interest in disease management and review the implications of patientslikeme from a population-based care POV on the disease management care blog. Whether you guys realize it or not, you've taken "open sourcing" and "translational research" to a whole new level. Wow. Congrats on making it into the NYT.

More information should drive that. Thanks! Meg, we have numerous requests for breast cancer and it is part of our future plans. Stay tuned!

I was wondering if there are any future plans to gear a section of your web site towards women dealing with metastatic breast cancer. I have long been a big proponent of the concept of advocacy in medicine, even many years before I found myself in this situation. I truly believe that without an advocate a lot of major mistakes are made. Please let me know if others are interested in disussing this, particularly with regard to metastatic breast cancer. Thank you very much. "Meg" I saw the article in the New York Times today and took a look at your web site.

Thank you so much for giving so many people a chance to be able to take back responsibility for their own health, and treatment. Knowledge is DEFINITELY power!
