Meddik Makes Self-Diagnosis Easy
May 25, 2012 at 3:03 pm
Introducing Meddik, the fun, new and easy startup for all your hypochondriac needs. Founded by Tim Soo (of invisible instrument fame) and Benjamin Shyong (of Boba Bros and µWave), this site gathers medical information from all over the web to give users better and more personalized access to understanding their health.
The site's already nabbed $750 grand in its developing stages, and Soo tells TechCrunch that he hopes the site will cater "personalized, aggregated public and academic information, traditional and alternative remedies, in an effort to not just find a good answer to your health questions, but find the right answer." Basically, it's like an improved WebMD that aggregates information from across various health media instead of writing its own.
So no more mistaking your headaches for brain cancer.
