    PeoplesMD.com - Participating in Your Health

    peoplesmd

    You know the commercials-- the ones featuring the latest cure-all drugs with cute little butterflies, puppies and round lump-people. They claim to relieve pain, depression, upset bladders, insomnia, death. They also come with a lengthy list of side effects that would put Websters to shame. And forget, the fact that the side effects sound worse than the condition in the first place. So who do you trust when it comes to your health—commercials? Drug Companies? Doctors? The internet? If anything, you might want to check out PeoplesMD, medicine for the people by the people. It’s a communal medical resource where you can find valuable health information from professionals and health experts. These are called Personal Guides and anyone can create one. Simply create a title, like “I want that Butt,” and then post resources found on the web pertaining to your title. Publish your guide and share it. It’s that easy. With PeoplesMD, you choose the topics you’re interested in and the resources you want to explore.

    In their own words

    “PeoplesMD is a participatory content site where real people and health experts collectively determine the value of health information every day.

    On PeoplesMD, anyone with a unique perspective on health can create a personal health guide to the best resources on the web. There are thousands of guides and resources to choose from, all pre-selected and organized by real people.

    Anyone who cares about health and wellness can share their unique point of view on peoplesmd. You decide whose voice, and opinions, matter most.

    Find the guide, and the hero that’s right for you.”

    Why it might be a killer

    PeoplesMD is a nice alternative to the current health site offerings. Users can get information from number of different sources versus one all encompassing answer. Users can choose what they want.

    Some questions

    Is PeoplesMD really something you would want to consult regarding disease and health? The guides can be created by anyone who signs up not just doctors and experts. Will users trust PeoplesMD?
