With $9M in seed funding, StuffThatWorks launches AI-enabled crowdsourced healthcare platform - SiliconANGLE

StuffThatWorks, which harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to crowdsource data on health-related issues, today announced it's launching its platform after raising $9 million in seed funding. When it comes to chronic conditions, many people find themselves dissatisfied with the slow process of medical science because it often requires lengthy test series and long visits with specialists. The properly cautious nature of medical treatment can lead to slow improvement, which leads many patients to social media to seek out anecdotes from other sufferers to identify other options. For many patients and researchers, this second process is often haphazard and fraught with difficulty. It also often leads to questionable conclusions by patients who cannot easily sift through the experiences of other people in forums, Facebook and other places to get a better grasp on their own treatment.
