New Resources for the Joint Pain Community!

by Amanda

We love bringing great new resources to Health Activists and members of the online health community. It is our hope that, by sharing information and resources, we can all encourage patients to lead healthier, more empowered lives. This is why we’re looking forward to sharing these new videos, links, and pages about joint health with you.

 

You may have seen our Joint Pain Channel over on WEGOHealth.tv that showcases outstanding videos with Health Activists in the Joint Pain Community. We created the channel because we know that education is the first step to being an empowered patient. This is why we’ve added brand new resources to the page to offer even more great information for the Joint Pain Community. The resources include a program that will help patients better understand their joint fitness level through screening. And videos that also provide education and exercises to help patients actively participate in their own joint care.

 

These new sponsored resources touch upon Self Joint Health Home Screening so patients can assess their own individual joint health. Other resources show detailed exercises for you to try and determine your own personal fitness level. Another featured resource focuses on the ORTHOVISC brand 5 Minute Knee Health Workout that will help people who experience knee pain to strengthen their knees and proactively reduce pain and improve their overall knee health.

 

Visit the Joint Pain Channel to check it out!

 

For more information, check out the Orthovisc page on Facebook.

 

We’re looking forward to hearing what you and your community members think of these new resources and what else you’d like us to add to the Joint Pain Channel!

New Clinical Trial Opportunity from WEGO Health

by Susan

Here at WEGO Health we spend a lot of time talking to Health Activists and we’ve heard from you that clinical trials are an important part of the online health community and that many patients struggle to get involved with clinical trials due to time and distance limitations.  Mytrus is an innovative, clinical trials company that is interested in working to make clinical trials more accessible and convenient and thus, available to a much larger audience with more representative results.

 

We’re excited by what they’re doing, so we’ve partnered with Mytrus to bring the Health Activist voice to the world of at-home clinical trials. We want to make sure that YOU and your community have the chance to participate in this new type of trial and impact the course of new medications and treatments that are relevant to you.

 

Interested? Here’s how to get started right away:

 

Sign up for trials
Share a few pieces of information about yourself and we’ll see if you qualify for any of the at-home clinical trials that are currently underway.  If you qualify for the trial, you’ll be compensated for your time and participation.  If not, we’ll keep you up to date on new clinical trials as they become available.

 

Share this opportunity
As part of this new opportunity, we’re pulling together a Health Activist Referral Program for Health Activists who share with their community.  We’ll give you your own unique link to the trials, you’ll share it through your blog, twitter, facebook, etc., and we’ll reward you with $50 per qualified trial participant.

 

We hope you will get involved right away and let your community know about this exciting new opportunity.
