Are you trying to build a company?
There are many initiatives in this space. Not to say there isn't room for a new one, but you should have a theory of how you're different. I haven't studied the space in a while but http://www.improvecarenow.org/ http://www.improvecarenow.org/ (peds focused) seemed to be the most effective when I was looking ~4 years ago.
- kamkafi 9y agoYes its to build a company/platform but with people who have IBS/IBD core to the team. What we do is pretty different than anything that exists. On our end, we did a clinical validation study for the approach and did a pretty in-depth market analysis to see whats out there. Although there are many initiatives, clinics etc there are only couple proper digital solution in this space (think along the lines of Omada) and no one trying to do what we are. Improvecarenow.org, for example, has a patient tool page with 6 different web-based toolkits. The difficulty I've run into is that its a hard disease and space to grasp for people not exposed to it, and the only people who understood and came on board were personally affected - hence reaching out here to see if I can find people with a personal interest in this
- shimon 9y agoThanks for the response and good luck. I can see why you'd want people with internal motivation, especially with a health intervention that isn't a drug or medical service. It's incredibly hard to capture value in health if you aren't selling a pill or working in a hospital. That's a major risk in making any such product viable. Try to address that even if you find people motivated enough to build this for free.
