CureTogether helps people anonymously track and compare health data, to better understand their bodies, make more informed treatment decisions and contribute data to research.

Alexandra Carmichael and Daniel Reda launched CureTogether in July 2008 to help the people they knew and the millions they didn’t who live in daily chronic pain. Starting with 3 conditions, it quickly expanded as people wrote in to request that their conditions be added to this ongoing study. CureTogether is currently funded by its founders and angel investment, as well as by book and product sales, clinic sponsorships of individual communities, opt-in patient recruitment for clinical trials, and a subscription-based Pro version of CureTogether (coming soon).

	“Patients suffering with the daily pain of medical conditions now have a place to go share information and resources with other patients and researchers… CureTogether’s service reflects an emerging social networking trend to help patients share and understand their data.”
	“This site is sorely needed. Too often there is a disconnect between the researchers and the people affected by the research. Sign up and get involved! The only way we can hope to achieve progress is to make that progress ourselves.”
	“CureTogether is a great resource for a mystery condition such as vulvodynia — it enables sufferers to compare symptoms and treatments, expanding the knowledge base from doctors and vulvodynia literature to include patients themselves. And honestly, I think I’ve learned more about vulvodynia and interstitial cystitis reading about patients’ experiences than I have from any other source. Kudos to CureTogether!”
