Actually, I remember in my business classes we were taught to project confidence independent of if we had the knowledge/experience to back it up. As if confidence were an attribute in itself (unrelated to actually having the skills and

I was in classes with these kids. Many of them were smug AF and wanted to start tech companies, but didn't know a thing about software engineering. I just felt they wanted to manage/direct the people and make the money. Since I ha

I graduated with a major in Business at Haas and a minor in Computer Science from the College of Engineering. And I tacked on an extra semester to get it done. Yeah you're right to think doing double major w/ EECS would have been

Yeah he definitely was a bad professor. Sad that he was the finance professor (for this required, main track course) every undergrad my year had. Which meant, I think, 300-400 students received his indoctrination that semester. I use him as

My finance professor at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley preached that maximizing profit was our ultimate service to the world---so much so--that he taught that if we were running a company and had an option to maximize profits by

It's an iterative and building process for us to get where we want to go with Crohnology. The start is less scientific, but as we build better software, with larger N, and bring on the involvement (and attract the attention of) more re

cool, i wonder if clicking a link to the beeminder site (or simply log in) would do the auto-resume, or if there is a specific engagement required to make it auto-resume. noble and awesome!

ah yes, sorry about this. we'll get some user permissions up soon for non-patients. most of the stuff we've programmed is patient focused right now. luckily, as soon as we do get something up for you (or just for you to see if you'd like),

You know, that is the number one comparison people make. I should probably work on incorporating into these blog posts a little sentence or two to address the question more when it comes up. PatientsLikeMe has done a great job at building c

Yup, working with limited resources initially to test the concept and get where we want to as a team, but you've got the right idea!

Tuxguy, thanks a bunch for the comment. Yeah CureTogether and PatientsLikeMe exist, but they didn't seem to fill the specific vision for a complete product I had -- which was THE location for people with a specific chronic condition to go.

Maybe. I tracked my symptoms for a year, starting when taking the worms. My symptoms got really rough after taking the worms, but I don't have a lot of baseline data for how rough my symptoms were prior to taking them. I gave a presentation

I really appreciate that. It wasn't easy choosing this path for sure, for exactly the reasons you mention.

Malbs, as you allude to, it can be a hard leap to start openly telling people you have Crohn's or Colitis. It's not easy to lash your personal identity to the disease. Believe it or not, I've gone through a personal struggle with this mysel

Thank you so much. I think there are two sides of the spectrum: patients that are in dire need of help and information, and patients that are 'veteran' and have a lot more information to give. I think these two sides of the spectrum actuall

herbivore, I don't consume any liquid dairy (as a part of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet). And it certainly helps. I could possibly imagine that my health could improve even more if I avoided all dairy, but there are so many things out of m

Zerohp is right. They don't. It is estimated there are 1.4 million people with Crohn's & Colitis in the United States. But because most people who have it don't talk about it, people go on suffering in silence. One reason people don't t

Thank you so much. I'm sorry to hear about how pervasively this disease has affected your family. But I'm glad to be working to produce something that may help. Email me at beta@crohnology.com, and I'd love to have them a part.
