We Love CureTogether

This Week on WEGO Health Loves: CureTogether

CureTogether is all about open source health research.

There's lots to do at CureTogether - you can track:

• health measures (caloric intake, blood glucose, peak flow, etc).
  
• conditions you're living with (allergies, migraines, and fibromyalgia, to name a few).
• symptoms you've experienced.
• treatments (and dosages) you've tried.

Compiling this data is obviously beneficial if you're looking to better understand your own health, but the great thing about CureTogether (and what makes it "open source health research") is that after contributing this information, you can also see information and data that has been submitted by other members of the CureTogether community. You can see how the severity of your symptoms compares to the community at large, and also learn which treatments they've found to be most effective.

Complimenting all of this excellent information from the community, CureTogether also produces condition-specific crowdsourced books. Check out what they've put together for: Migraine, Endometriosis and Vulvodynia.

And if all that weren't enough to convince you to spend some time over at CureTogether, let me introduce you to their blog: The Collective Well. I love this blog, and not just because I'm a sucker for a great pun - it's well-written, inspiring, and informative. An absolute must-add to any Health Activist's reading list or RSS reader.
