The contenders (Vote on THE HEALTHCARE BLOG)
Healthcare.com — a combined search/content/patient management/communication site; company recently got significant venture funding.
Xoova.com — a physician directory with a twist allowing you to search by all types of specialties and conditions (that’s the media part); new company with big ambitions to connect patients with doctors, run by an AOL veteran.
LifespringHealth — a combined health care purchase and rewards program that’s developing online community purchasing (it’s social if not necessarily media!)
Solos Health – active in healthcare as an information provider since 2000, Solos provides nutrition counseling and maintenance for 180,000 diabetics as well as disease management services for other areas. The company also recently launched the ambitious Breastcancerawareness.org, a site driven by online PSAs.
ClinicaHealth —creates disease-specific social networks for patients, family members and caregivers, usually through other organizations such as the Lung Cancer Alliance and the WomenHeart Community.
Dlife – Is a combined community rich media site for diabetics. It also has a cable TV program on CNBC called dLifeTV
The American Cancer Society has some of the most vibrant online message boards anywhere. It may look a little Web1.0 but it’s a powerful community
healthcentral.com is a veteran health site, focusing on providing expert information and with a great number of vibrant communities.
HealthWorldWeb — a new very ambitious site integrating provider search, patient blogs, content, video information and much more.
Wellness-layers.com is another “inside” engine that powers other community and content sites. One example is DietWatch. The company recently built a specialized community for weight-loss giant NutriSystem.
SocialText - this groundbreaking enterprise Wiki provider sees itself as a natural for healthcare industry and wants to do business with both providers and payers. Humana is one early customer.
icyou — Just launched (by BenefitFocus) combines user-generated video with professionally produced web only segment. Apparently certain other non-health care focused video sites have done rather well, I hear. Perhaps they can replicate that success in healthcare. It’s in early beta, but certainly one of the most interesting Health2.0 video sites.
So please take a look and come over to this survey to let us know what you think, and which one you’d like to see on the panel
And with help from Gabi (see comments) mdjunction.com a support groups hub,dedicated to patients. Very nice “social service” indeed.
