After my years and years of incorrect diagnoses, and major systemic damage before getting my Lyme diagnosis; I immediately could see the wisdom in the CrownMed philosophy. Years of missed diagnoses does major damage to one's bank account too. I applied to be a Medical Detective, and am amazed at the rapidity of correct diagnoses. People near death's door, with immensely depleted funds, still are able to get the medical attention they need and deserve. It is a very caring community, many of whom had experienced the medical run around before they finally were correctly diagnosed. If the medical run around is draining your strength, pocket book, and resolve, CowdMed might be just what the doctor ordered. You should know that by the time a person finds CrowdMed, they often are depleted in funds; so many cases have little, if any, reward. However, the delight is in helping to relieve suffering and to help people to regain their quality of life.

Our Core Beliefs

Groups are more powerful than individuals

It is simply impossible for one doctor to have all the answers, to know everything about every one of the 13,000 potential medical conditions that may be causing your symptoms. This is the problem CrowdMed was designed to solve.

We bring together sets of various expertise to create an incredibly well-rounded base of medical knowledge, heightening your case exposure and the probability that someone with the correct knowledge will be able to see your case.

CrowdMed has already proven a crowd of people with medical expertise or familiarity with particular conditions can be significantly more effective than one doctor. After joining CrowdMed, most patients’ cases have been solved in weeks, with more than 80% of diagnostic suggestions reported by patients.
Health issues can be diagnosed by anyone, not just doctors

Before coming to us for help, CrowdMed's patients suffered an average of six years, consulting with at least eight different doctors and incurring more than $50,000 in medical expenses - with no definitive diagnosis. After joining CrowdMed, most patients' cases have been solved in weeks, with more than 80% of diagnostic suggestions reported accurate by patients.

There are so many people in the world who have been exposed to such different things and have exceptional knowledge on a range of medical conditions who are not doctors. While most of our "crowd" is comprised of people who are active in medicine and healthcare, many others are not medical professionals but have first-hand experience with various medical conditions.
