TODAY’S TRADEMARK – DIGITALME
PatientsLikeMe was established in 1998 by Stephen Heywood and his brothers Jamie and Ben, all of whom had been given a diagnosis of ALS around the same time. They were looking for a more effective way to connect ALS patients with one another and came across the collected real-world experiences of those fighting and living with ALS. PatientsLikeMe is now one of the largest patient communities and digital health management platforms in the world.
This growth began in 2011, and it has continued ever since. The platform, which has more than 850,000 users, aims to enhance the quality of life of patients by providing them with access to information that is gleaned from the exchange of real-world experiences and results. PatientsLikeMe is a resource that is clinically sound and has shown to have an impact; this assertion has been supported by more than one hundred studies published in scholarly medical and scientific journals.
