RevolutionHealth.com is a free, comprehensive health and medical information site for consumers. Established by Stephen M. Case, the America Online founder, the site offers health information, treatment advice and more than 125 online tools. It also enables consumers to browse and compare health insurance products, then puts them in touch with trusted brokers.
RevolutionHealth.com contains more than 45,000 articles on health and healthy living topics from sources such as Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Harvard Health Publications, StayWell, Rodale, Healthwise and other quality health publishers. Up to date health news and information are provided from Reuters and HealthDay, as well as blogs, forum postings and interviews from Revolution Health’s expert medical team. Users can subscribe to a “premium membership” (for an annual fee) for additional, individualized help, share their experiences on forums and user blogs, create “circles” of people with shared interests, and read user-generated ratings of products, treatments, drugs, doctors and hospitals.
Physicians can use the site to share their expertise by starting their own blog and print easy-to-understand information for their patients to help them understand their condition.
