PatientsLikeMe Featured on Bloomberg TV

On October 9th, Bloomberg TV aired a four-and-a-half minute “Innovators” segment profiling PatientsLikeMe’s journey as a company.  Filmed partially in our office in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the piece features PatientsLikeMe Co-Founder and Chairman Jamie Heywood as well as Ed Sikov, a PatientsLikeMe member with Parkinson’s disease.  Our thanks go to Bloomberg’s Nicole Lapin for her in-depth coverage of our evolution into a data-sharing platform that, as she puts it, “functions more like a clinical trial.”

Watch the Bloomberg TV profile below:

  1. Great video. Appreciate the views but I also suggest you let patients publish on the site as well, not just management. Cheers Mike

  2. Thanks, Mike! Do you mean on our blog (this site) or our main site (www.PatientsLikeMe.com)? Here, we do feature patient interviews as well as guest patient posts, but you’re right—we could always do more! At PatientsLikeMe.com, all of the information is patient-generated, which is the foundation of our philosophy on improving healthcare (http://www.patientslikeme.com/about/openness).

    Thanks for stopping by our blog, I hope you check out our site as well if you haven’t already. I’m happy to answer any questions and would love to hear more of your thoughts!

    Best wishes,
    Liz Morgan
    PatientsLikeMe Community Manager
