TakeAway MD is the first health-focused social media network run by trusted medical voices.

We enable and encourage community around the sharing of health-related stories + experiences, with a specific focus on symptoms.

The data generated by the essential crowdsourcing of health information is then used to help people find critical health information in terms of diagnostic pathways, tips, and resources.

We believe that patients have their own expertise borne of experience, and that a patient capable of self-advocacy is the strongest patient.

The larger mission of our platform is to rebuild trust in healthcare and science by presenting the sources of credible health information.

We are currently LIVE on IPhone and Android phones. While the platform is currently open to users globally, this early version is focused on our US users.

We protect it. We don’t sell it. And we only use what’s necessary to make TakeAway MD work. For those that opt-in to community research, only de-identified, aggregated data is shared with our research partners. For those that opt-in to clinical trial notifications, your name and identifying information is never shared directly with any corporations.

We not only enable and encourage community, our technology is constantly analyzing users’ community contributions to understand how one user may be related to others, either symptomatically, diagnostically, or in terms of lifestyle.

Over time the goal is to generate valuable health insights and takeaways that not only benefit individual users, but provide deep value to the community at large.

Think of TakeAway MD like television in that not everyone gets to be on TV. All of the content creators are vetted, credentialed experts.

The users with lived experience contribute through comments and leading group conversations on the different creator accounts.

Talking about TakeAway with your friends, in person or online, letting people in FaceBook groups, health societies, and personally recommending the app is the highest compliment we could receive. We are collecting information that will not only help us as individuals, but help to provide insights and answers to entire communities of people who have been struggling with unanswered health issues.
