More about CureCrowd:
After three years of research and development, CureCrowd launched in 2014 to deliver reliable information about medical or treatment options. The first medically-guided, public online study, CureCrowd provides a head-to-head efficacy evaluation of all modalities of treatment for a given ailment in one, easy-to-read graph. Compiling information about treatment plans, ranging from billion dollar pharmaceutical drugs to naturopathic home remedies, CureCrowd is designed to provide quality-controlled medical data to the masses. The entirety of CureCrowd’s data is crowdsourced, and all data is reviewed by medical professionals to ensure trustworthy, unbiased medical information is available to anyone with an Internet connection.
