The search for a diagnosis can be a long and difficult journey for patients with a rare disease, but CrowdMed is offering a different way for them to find the answers they seek. The web-based service allows patients to tap a multidisciplinary team of experts to help them solve their medical mysteries. We spoke to Jared Heyman, founder and CEO of CrowdMed about the service, how his the experience his sister faced in getting a diagnosis for a rare disease led to its creation, and why the company, even though its backed by top-flight investors, is now turning to crowdfunding to raise capital.
A Conversation with CrowdMed CEO and Founder, Jared Heyman (www.CrowdMed.com) By empowering both medical experts and patients through an easy-to-use online service, CrowdMed helps diagnose medical issues faster and more accurately - not only improving outcomes, but saving lives. The biggest flaw in today's healthcare system is the expectation that one doctor has all of the answers. CrowdMed provides the solution to this. We have created one online destination that hosts a worldwide community of Medical Detectives, each with a unique set of medical knowledge, and collectively forming an incredibly well-rounded medical mind.

Jared Heyman founded CrowdMed to turn diagnostics on its head. Rather than asking patients to find one physician with the right answer, CrowdMed is trying to harness the Wisdom of the Crowd.
"We wanted to cast the net wide enough, whilst maintaining quality." - Jared Heyman More inspiration and education as we talk to the brightest minds shaping healthcare today. Today, I'm talking to entrepreneur and founder of CrowdMed, Jared Heyman. Learn more about this episode of The Dr. Steven Show at www.DrSteven.com.
CrowdMed was started in 2012 to harness “the wisdom of crowds” to solve even the world’s most difficult medical cases online. Jared Heyman CrowdMed Founder & CEO started CrowdMed because his own sister spent 3 years with a chronic, undiagnosed medical condition that nearly killed her. He saw first-hand the inadequacies that exist in today’s medical system when it comes to helping patients with undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, or underdiagnosed medical conditions. It’s not the fault of doctors — they’re doing the best that they can within the constraints that the medical system places upon them. It’s the fault of the medical system itself. Physicians, especially those in primary care, are under enormous time pressures, and can now afford to spend only 13 to 16 minutes per patient visit. That’s barely enough time for a routine physical, much less delve into the intricacies of complex medical case. So any medical condition that can’t be quickly resolved results in a referral to a specialist, who is also under enormous time pressures, and further can only diagnose and treat within their own narrow specialty. This leaves many patients with complex illnesses spending years bouncing from specialist to specialist, desperately seeking a correct diagnosis and cure, and there’s nothing that anyone could do about it — until now. CrowdMed developed a place for physicians to securely refer patients who have exhausted all other options, while maintaining a close relationship with the patient and keeping a close eye on their case. On CrowdMed, the patient posts their case by anonymously answering a comprehensive set of medical questions, uploading relevant images and diagnostic test results, and selecting a subscription package. Then CrowdMed’s community of over 15,000 registered Medical Detectives may select and collaborate on solving it using chat, discussion, and suggestion features, while a patented prediction market technology accurately identifies the most probable diagnoses and solutions. Using this innovative crowdsourcing methodology, CrowdMed has resolved over 1,000 real-world medical cases to date, with an over 60% success rate, for patients who on average had been sick for 7 years, seen 8 doctors, and incurred over $70,000 in medical expenses before submitting their case. Our average case resolution time is only 2 months. CrowdMed’s amazing results have been submitted to major peer-reviewed medical journals for publication, and presented at prestigious healthcare events including the PMWC, Health Innovation Summit, and TEDMED. To learn more, watch our overview video and animated ‘How it Works’ videos for patients and Medical Detectives (under 2 minutes each) and our long list of glowing patient quotes. With the new API integration with drchrono, CrowdMed is now easily accessible to any physician or patient using their platform. This means that drchrono physicians can now refer patients to CrowdMed with the click of a button, and participate as Medical Detectives on our site using their drchrono login, earning points and cash rewards while expanding their medical knowledge, and helping patients around the world in desperate need of answers. Since drchrono now has over 87,000 medical professionals and millions of patients on its platform, CrowdMed’s reach is now dramatically expanded. CrowdMed hopes to one day provide accurate, reliable crowdsourced medical answers to every patient in the world with an unresolved medical case. The new partnership with drchrono brings us one step closer to that goal. Check the drchrono API integration today!
For many patients with rare and difficult to diagnose conditions, it can take many years and many doctors to find a correct answer. CrowdMed is trying to offering an alternative to patients by allowing them to tap the wisdom of crowds and letting medical detectives who sign on to the site try to find the right answer. We spoke to Jared Heyman, founder and CEO of CrowdMed, about the problem with the traditional way doctors diagnose patients, the wisdom of crowds, and the case for making medicine a team sport.
Jessica Greenwalt is the Co-Founder of CrowdMed, a company that solves the world's most difficult medical cases faster than ever before using the 'wisdom of crowds'. We help patients whose doctors tell them there is no hope—or that their symptoms are in their heads. Some of the patients who come to the site have been suffering without a diagnosis for years and have gotten the correct answer for their case from our medical community in a matter of weeks.
Jared Heyman knew there had to be a better way when his little sister suffered for three years with a medical condition that could not be diagnosed. After many doctor visits and thousands of dollars in medical bills, she was finally diagnosed and given proper treatment. This was Jared's motivation for CrowdMed. Medical Detectives from around the world help people with mysterious medical problems figure out a diagnosis. Listen and learn about a new way of helping to diagnose medical problems.

Jared Heyman's sister went from a young healthy teen to someone who had to drop out of college because of depression and a fatigue so profound she could only watch TV or play solitaire. She would also wake up several times a night with nightmares and cold sweats. Eventually she became suicidal. Over the course of 3 years, she saw 16 different medical specialists (all seen individually) racked up $100,000 in medical bills to no avail. They couldn't figure it out. She was what you really don't ever want to be – a tough case. Finally, the diagnosis was made. It had a rare disease that only affects 15,000 females. She was treated and is doing fine now, but her story inspired her brother to do something to help other people like her. Jared Heyman founded CrowdMed to crowdsource medical diagnoses. That's right, he designed a platform to bring together people with difficult to diagnosis conditions with folks he calls Medical Detectives – people who want to help solve the puzzle.
