CEWeek 2013/Digital Health Summit Four floors up, I sat with Tal Givoly, CEO and Oren Fuerst, PhD, Executive Chairman, of startup health information company Medivizor. Their ‘job to be done’ is to personalize the tidal wave of available health information for those with chronic and serious diseases. For this group, the current state is 1) too much information, 2) hard to interpret research and 3) difficult to determine if the information is applicable/relevant/reliable to their chronic condition or disease. By signing up, a patient or family member can receive a customized delivery of the most relevant information, ‘digested’ and interpreted at a 10th grade reading level, for free (and HIPAA compliant).

Promoting a product or service is not something we normally do on this site, but we thought this service was too cool not tell our community about. For the past month or so, we have been talking to the people at Medivizor about their new tool and offerings for those struggling to find information about colon cancer by turning to web searches and “Dr. Google.” Medivizor seeks to simplify this generic search and provide customized results based on specific conditions, diagnosis and treatment plans. Then deliver results directly to your inbox, including results of studies available only behind pay walls. Plus, it is free for patients and caregivers. Read full news post

It’s hard to keep up with the latest medical information out there, right? I’m sure you can relate to this. Our mom was diagnosed with colon cancer last November, so, naturally, my sister and I wanted to learn everything we could about her medical condition. We jumped on the Internet to start our research, but it’s really exhausting work, sorting through the morass of information out there, trying to find information that’s relevant, credible and the least bit helpful. And way too much brainpower is wasted trying to figure out what most of it even means. Read full blog post

A few months ago, e-Patient Dave wrote a blog post highlighting a new Web property called Medivizor that is fulfilling the personalized health information future we’ve been sketching out for those subscribing to enmoebius bronze, our digital health research and advisory service. We focus on how Big Data, powerful computer programs and other technologies have the potential to transform how people seek health information. Today, when people proactively look for medical content, they start with a search engine like Google. However, we’ve suggested that the day is coming where significant numbers of people will instead rely on technologies that automatically filter and deliver health content for them. This is already happening in the news and information arena. For example, services like Zite leverage personal information people provide regarding their preferences and social connections to find and deliver relevant content. Read full blog post

“Medivizor’s vision is to improve the lives of people with serious medical conditions and those who care for them and to effectively apply software and the social web in the field of health for the betterment of humanity. This might sound like a lofty goal, and indeed, it is. We want to change the world for the better!” As one satisfied patient, AnneMarie Ciccarella has pronounced, “Step Aside Dr. Google: Enter Medivizor.” As the CEO of Medivizor, Tal Givoly describes, “Today, when people become sick, they often use the web to find information. They find too much information. Much of it, irrelevant. Much of it, not easy to understand and interpret. Most frustrating [for them is] finding something that seems hopeful, and wasting precious time with [their] doctor [only] to be disappointed.” Read full blog post

The internet is increasingly home to reams of information that patients can use to self-diagnose before they contact a health professional, but this wealth of data may either be poorly-researched or may not even be relevant to them. We’ve already seen Cureus try to tackle the first of these issues by placing peer-reviewed papers straight onto the web, and now Israel’s Medivizor is a search tool that offers results personalized to each user.

One of the most important steps that anyone can take to become an empowered patient or an effective family caregiver is to learn about the condition one is dealing with. Books and online resources abound, but investing time and effort to finding and filtering this wealth of information can be all-consuming. Where do you look for reliable information? Once you find it, can you understand it? Does it apply to your condition? Most of us are not well-versed in the scientific or medical terminology that makes up most of the research papers one comes across on the internet. Would we be able to discuss these reports with our doctors? Today, Medivizor is taking care of that problem! Read full blog post

The search for online health information can quickly overwhelm most people. There is so much information available that it often requires users to sort through a maze of websites and medical information which may or may not be relevant. However a new startup aims to change that. Medivizor is a website that helps users sort through all the online health information to deliver relevant medical information. Read full blog post

Frankly, we’re always a little skeptical of new “services” that claim to personalize health information, especially when they’re supposed to carry some diabetes management or other health benefit. But hearing how it’s helped at least one fellow PWD makes this new one more credible, in our opinion. Read full blog post
