For people carrying the burden of chronic health problems like diabetes, hepatitis or cancer, feeling alone and in the dark about their treatment options can be a fact of life. Without tools to discuss and compare notes, the explosion of online health information can be as confusing as it is helpful.

Founded by Matt Jameson-Evans and Jorge Armanet, HealthUnlocked provides tools to make the most of the hidden experts out there. Our web-based tools are designed for specific diseases with patient groups. The tools help gather the knowledge and experience of patients and to share it with a wider patient audience. The information and sense of support can reduce the isolation and fear of people facing chronic conditions.

The difference between HealthUnlocked and other social networks is the level of moderation by the trusted patient groups and charities. Our use of web widgets and applications that are distributed across websites encourages patients to access our communities.
