Web2.0 New Trend - Personal Health Information Interaction Platform?

It's not uncommon to see healthcare websites, but most of them are still in the traditional form of information release with little user participation. Recently, I found a new website called "BieLaiWuYang" (http://BieLaiWuYang.com). The domain name is indeed a bit long, but it's not hard to remember and has strong Chinese characteristics.

"BieLaiWuYang" claims to be "a completely new interactive management platform for personal health information," which "aims to help more people understand more valuable medical and health information from more channels, while also giving users the opportunity to care about their own health and manage their own health."

The main functions of the website include:

Medical Information Inquiry: Users can look up information on various diseases, hospitals, and medications. The content is quite comprehensive, especially the data on 20,000 hospitals nationwide, and most of the diseases we can think of have detailed introductions.

Medical Resource Reviews: In other words, scoring and reviewing hospitals and medications, similar to Dianping.com, but the scoring options are clearly more suitable for medical content.

Personal Medical Record Management: This is a very novel feature. There seems to be no other website in China offering a similar function. It allows users to write down their experiences of getting treatment. On one hand, they can manage it themselves, and on the other hand, they can share experiences with each other. Moreover, a confidentiality function is provided, showing that the website does value user privacy issues.

In addition, users can also communicate through discussion groups, internal messages, and other forms, forming a community with a strong theme.

Compared with other entertainment-based communities, "BieLaiWuYang" seems to focus more on health and medical topics closely related to the daily lives of ordinary people. Although users may not have particularly high stickiness, the value is enormous. After all, in China, the difficulty and high cost of medical treatment is a significant issue that deserves great attention.
