About:
Social Medicine focuses on bridging the gap of patient-to-patient communication. Social Medicine has multiple patient focused social networking platforms, designed to help individuals dealing with particular illnesses, help share their thoughts, experiences, and knowledge with others who experience the same condition. Its emphasis is on connecting people globally and has all the social networking features and functionality expected, such as personalizing profiles, joining communities, making friends, uploading your photos and videos, writing on walls, chatting live to others patitents, whether it’s one-to-one or in groups, and commenting on blogs written within the communities.
How works:
Social Medicine fosters a community support experience, where real people in similar situations come together, to circumvent negative feelings like disconnection and loneliness, and focus on improving self-esteem, understanding, communication, relationships, and peer support.
About the Creator:
Michael Dornan is an innovative, results-focused IT Management Executive with over 14 years experience, delivering strategic Information Technology and Business outcomes. Suffering from Psoriasis, an autoimmune skin condition for over 20 years, Michael created the popular social networking site for Psoriasis sufferers called Psoriasis Social (www.psoriasissocial.org).
Michael realised how important it was for sufferers, family and friends to find support, advice, and information for their condition, and saw the need for a wide range of common illnesses. And so social-medicine.org was born.
