Helps people learn which treatments work best for their condition using smart, AI-based crowdsourcing.
StuffThatWorks applies machine learning and the power of crowdsourcing to empower people with chronic conditions to transform their experience into an organized knowledge database aimed at figuring out which treatments work best. The more contributors, the more personalized the insights become. With over 1.2M members across 400+ conditions, StuffThatWorks is the largest and most up-to-date PRO (patient reported outcome) knowledge base optimized for research.
It starts with everyone sharing their treatment experiences by answering a series of questions about their condition in an organized way.
This data is then anonymized and analyzed by smart machine learning algorithms programmed to identify which treatments work best.
The collective knowledge and discoveries are shared with members in the community page.
As the community grows, insights are discovered about treatment effectiveness. As more people contribute, the insights become more personalized.
This can only happen with your help. Everyone can pitch in by inviting others to become contributors, adding research questions and steering the research direction.
