MyHealthInsights.com is community to advance the concept of evidence-based medicine and informed medical decision making. The healthcare industry knows precious little which treatments are effective and which are not. Modern medicine, for all its immense promise, is still a deadly game of trial-and-error, with less than 25% of treatments currently being prescribed based on proven efficacy.

Through the contributions of ordinary people like you sharing their experiences, we hope to reduce this guess-work and improve healthcare significantly.

It is extremely important that you consult with an authorized medical professional before using any information from this website. This information is only meant to be research tool for you to be better informed before discussing with your doctor or other care provider. This is NOT a prescription, nor is it medical advice.

We believe that through the collective wisdom of our contributors, countless human lives can be saved and human suffering reduced. Please join us in building the next generation of the healthcare.

The insights are generated based on a pattern-recognition based Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. While our technology makes every effort to filter out bogus entries to generate the most accurate representation of the data; as with any user-generated content, there is the possibility of errors in the data since it has been not been scientifically evaluated for accuracy.
Therefore it is extremely important that you consult with an authorized medical professional before using any information on this website.

The information that users share on our site is often sensitive and many people are likely to have misgivings about sharing such information. However, we do not store any personally identifying information that lets anyone trace the data back to the user.

The data is never presented as an individual contribution; instead the insights are based on the aggregated pattern-recognition analysis of multiple entries.

Registering for a (free) account offers you access to all the features on our site, such as a personalized symptoms/treatments tracker, insights generator, blogging feature and a filtering engine that generates a personalized reading list of articles from journals, and other reading materials that are most relevant to you.

Our aim is to give you the best possible information to be informed and self-empowered while discussing with your doctor or healthcare provider.

You can contribute your healthcare experiences even without registering using the 'Contribute' section. Your contribution is aggregated using our proprietary Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology (developed at MIT), and made available to be queried using the 'Research Insights' feature.

Your experience in sharing how useful a certain therapy or medication has been for a certain condition is used to train the Artificial Intelligence (AI) system.

The Insights section is a research tool, that shows which therapies have been viewed as most effective for a certain condition by the community. The insights are generated using a sophisticated pattern recognition algorithm that suggests the best treatment options, to discuss with your doctor or healthcare provider. These insights can be made more relevant by setting your gender, ethnicity, geographic location etc.

You can sign-up easily (takes a few minutes) and enjoy the benefits of our community. We hope you decide to sign-up and participate in this collaborative effort.

Thanks for your time!
