Meddik would help with that. Especially with rarer disorders like Barrett's esophagus (or less diagnoses, rather), you'll hear about new treatments as soon as our engine surfaces them. Thanks for the support!

I feel ya. Having worked in healthcare for years and as a medical student myself / recently gone through rounds, I know exactly where you're coming from. In addition, I am a patient myself in the hospital once a week. Moreover, having grown

We've built this for enterprise; it's just a matter of adding a consumer facing aspect to it. And yes, we're gauging interest to see if it is even worth it to have a consumer web aspect. Hoping to launch at the end of Techstar's Affiliate s

Thanks for the honest feedback! 1. Who else is in this space of content organization? Plus, in the spirit of start-ups, it's never about how many competitors you have; it's about who can ultimately provide the most value :) 2. Holding user

Sorry, realized I never answered your question. The difference: We scrape medical forums, blogs, twitter, facebook, etc (all the social media avenues) and add a layer of intelligent semantic analysis to bring you the best information releva

That's fair. Then again, that's how Summify started out, too. Once we get the consumer-facing site built, feel free to sign-up then. This list is just for people who want to be notified once we're live.

Actually, if you don't have a specific medical condition but just wanted to stay up-to-date with something in health (new startups, health technology, health policy, etc), It serves the same function. Thanks for alerting us about the favico

Thanks! This idea came out of the fact that we built an enterprise Radian6-like platform specifically for the health vertical and realized this would be a useful tool for consumers as well. That and people send so much time searching for th

Haha I'll admit the synthesizer wasn't great. I just used the default. I'm a violinist, and actually have owned/played on several electric violins in the past. The most decent model (from sharmusic.com) that I tested back in 2006 costed $50

Yep! Since it's so easy to loop with Ableton, or really any other looper nowadays, there is a lot of ImogenHeap-esque potential in this. Also instead of foot pedals I just use the buttons on the wiimote (makes it so I don't have to stand in

Many thanks! While I know most people aren't fans of Bruno Mars, his range is still pretty ridiculous.

Haha, many thanks. For those who are interested, I was classically trained in piano, violin and voice. Used to play in professional groups for awhile. I studied music and music technology in college. And you're right! This shouldn't be a re
