Background
Healtheo360 is a “caring network” where patients living with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s, can go to find support, encouragement and information.
Integrating social media with healthcare, healtheo360 is promoting the voice of patients and caregivers through its video health platform in which patients, their caregivers, family members and friends share their stories through self-generated videos so that others may find inspiration, motivation and support.
Members and visitors can explore a diverse assembly of specialized support groups and connect with people just like them. This community can also follow others on their individual journey, gain access to invaluable resources, learn something new, share their knowledge and most importantly, help others in need. Comments are allowed and encouraged to promote lively discussions. A member-generated video library provides longitudinal health journals that cover symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, remission, and various health conversations.
Healtheo360 recently commissioned two patient studies designed to measure the advantages of Virtual Social Therapy® for type 1 and type 2 diabetics via healtheo360’s interactive video platform.
