Our Mission

To help patients, their families and their friends:

• Decrease stress associated with medical procedures
• Establish stronger connections between themselves and their medical caregivers
• Best navigate the healthcare system and maximize the quality of their results

HealthAngle helps people decrease stress associated with medical procedures and surgery, “take ownership” of their medical care and get better results. It does this in part by providing focused, easy-to-access, readable and relevant patient-to-patient information.

HealthAngle also offers tools and resources to establish stronger connections between doctor and patient, allowing a better experience for everybody.

HealthAngle’s core is a searchable database of first-person, professionally edited and physician-reviewed accounts of medical procedures. Prior to undergoing procedures, patients visit HealthAngle to learn about what to expect, get advice and connect with others who have gone through similar situations. A family member can also access information to share with a loved one to help manage health issues.

Users who have already undergone a procedure can share their stories and/or connect with others with similar experiences.

Individuals can also access current research news related to their specific procedures and other conditions of interest, as well as use resources and tools to create health diaries and blogs, build community and manage their healthcare.
