From the Smart Patient website: Smart Patients is an online community for motivated patients and their families and friends. Here you can learn at your own level about scientific developments related to your disease, share your questions and concerns with other members, and use what you learn in the context of your own life.

We believe patients are the most underutilized resource in healthcare. We've watched patients become experts in their diseases — and we see that their knowledge improves the care they receive. With the right tools, you and other patients can do the same.

From the MDLive website: With MDLIVE you can now have access to quality healthcare from local physicians board certified in internal medicine, family practice, emergency medicine and pediatrics from the convenience of your home or office. Our doctors can diagnose, treat, and write prescriptions for routine medical conditions.

MDLIVE is a leader in telehealth services providing affordable consultations 24/7/365 anytime, anywhere through online video, phone or secure email.

From the Ringadoc website: Ringadoc gives you direct access to doctors. We cut away all the barriers between you and the care you need, bringing immediate care straight to your nearest phone. During your call, the doctor you speak with will be able to provide medical advice, diagnose an illness, advise you on treatment, and when necessary, prescribe medication.*
Our service is now available with complete video conferencing for smartphones and tablets.
