Whole Health Pioneer Announces Partnership with Medical Platform CrowdMed.com

The National Institute of Whole Health (NIWH), pioneers of Whole Health Education® training and research since 1977, announced today its partnership with CrowdMed, an online, crowdsourced medical diagnosis platform that helps to solve the world’s most difficult medical cases.

NIWHFor almost 40 years, NIWH has been training health professionals as health advocates and educators who provide demystified, evidence-based health information and serve their patients as trained health detectives. Because of NIWH’s enthusiasm for the CrowdMed.com platform, NIWH learners’ current case-study requirements will now include case study submissions for patients on the CrowdMed.com platform. The NIWH learners’ contributions will be a pro bono effort to assist these very ill patients and serve as a pilot study for further application.

CrowdMed boasts impressive statistics for those with undiagnosed illness. While their clients have seen an average of eight or more physicians, paid over $70,000 in medical fees and have spent seven years in search of a diagnosis and solution, the CrowdMed.com medical detectives have helped 60% of the patients get closer to a diagnosis. NIWH hopes to improve that statistic for CrowdMed.com through the participation of their graduates with the additional case study requirement.

CrowdMedThe visionary work of its founder, Jared Heyman, CrowdMed was launched in response to Hayden watching his younger sister suffer for three years with a mysterious illness that had no diagnosis or treatment available, in spite of her consulting with over two dozen doctors and spending over $100,000 in related medical costs.

Director of NIWH, Dr. Georgianna Donadio stated, “We are delighted to partner with CrowdMed. We share a mission of eliminating chronic, persistent medical conditions which often threaten an individual’s independence and quality of life. Jared Hayden is to be applauded for his vision and passion to transform the medical diagnostic process for many long suffering patients.”

CrowdMed CEO Jared Heyman added,”CrowdMed is very excited to collaborate so closely with an organization that not only embraces a forward-thinking approach to the practice of medicine but also holds to an evidence-based, scientifically validated method. We can’t wait to get started!”
