iMedix is unlike any other social network you will ever join. It isn’t just a social network for patients, but more accurately for anyone who is interested in health and medical information.
It’s primary reason for being, you will quickly discover, is to help people connect and communicate with others who understand what they are going through medically. I must admit that it is quite startling the first time you receive a friend request from someone who will bluntly reveal, “I am interested in brain cancer. I have a Glioblastoma multiforme tumor.” Talk about different from MySpace!
The other unique and unusual aspect of this social network is the member profile pages. Once again, you will see listings unlike any you’ve ever seen before. Here is an actual profile of a member:
The interests are all hyperlinked to pages that will share useful information regarding that interest as well as members who also share the same interest. Those members could either have that medical condition or simply doing research on that subject matter for a friend or family member. You can chat with them live if they are online of course or add them as a friend or simply send them a message about your shared interest. It is truly an eye-opening experience.
