Social Medicine: A Social Network for *Real* People
All too often, the social side of illnesses go ignored. As a psoriasis sufferer, I know first-hand how difficult it can be to deal with an illness without that all-essential support from real people who truly understand.
As a psoriasis sufferer, I recently launched psoriasissocial.org, a successful and free social networking site for psoriasis sufferers, and was much needed and in high demand for people with psoriasis. I decided to take this concept one step further and have now launched social-medicine.org; a community based website with multiple dedicated social networking sub-sites for a number of medical conditions.
Everyday people from all over the world are connecting and sharing information on psoriasissocial.org. Now that social-medicine.org has been created, the sub-sites for other medical conditions await visitors.
Social-medicine.org is putting the social back into all things medical. There has not been anything like this out in the social world; Social-medicine.org is the first of its kind. It’s designed to help those dealing with particular illnesses, help share their thoughts, experiences, and knowledge with others who experience the same condition. It is designed to be a social, fun and a relaxed way to learn and share information. Its emphasis is on connecting people and has all the social networking features and functionality expected.
The emphasis of social-medicine.org is on socialising, discussion, and communication. The site offers a safe and supportive environment for users world-wide to:
- Share their personal experiences
- Ask questions or answer the questions of others
- Share their knowledge about products or treatments
- Share the medical advice they have received
Users can benefit from the site through key functionalities such as:
- Full-featured personal blogs
- One-on-one and group chats
- Media file uploading and sharing
- Friend “matching” and grouping
- Group communications via our email engine
My simple goal was to give my illness and other illness sufferers a voice, a sounding-board, and a close-knit, supportive community of people, who understand what it was like to live with the condition.
I truly hope you find my story and the site interesting and are compelled to help me make other illness sufferers aware of social-medicine.org.
This is very interesting. People can share their knowledge and get others to be aware of certain illnesses. Hope in future time there will be no diseased

These will definitely be a help for people with illnesses. It is great that they have someone to talk to, someone who can relate and understand what they are going through. I know a lot of people who felt very lonely because of their illness. Group chats and advices from professionals can are a big help.

WOW! is what I can say to the idea of social-medicine.org. I can see this idea exploding and becoming the next Facebook, Google, YouTube. I’ve registered under the eczema illness and have connected with others who suffer with the condition. Simply by chatting with others on the site, I’ve learnt a fair bit about other people suffering with eczema, from what has worked and hasnt worked for them when treating eczema. Thank you for creating the site, http://social-medicine.org/eczema/ and truly hope more users suffering connect.
