About Wellsphere

Wellsphere’s mission is to help millions of people live healthier, happier lives by connecting them with the knowledge, people and tools they need to manage and improve their health.

Recognizing that each person has their own unique health questions, we developed a model that combines personalized information and social support to help people address their individual concerns. After extensive research and development, Wellsphere launched WellPages, powered by its innovative Health Knowledge EngineTM, enabling users to quickly and efficiently find comprehensive, personal answers and support for their specific health needs – all on one personalized webpage. Wellsphere’s unique ability to quickly and efficiently answer user’s specific health needs has made Wellsphere.com one of the leading consumer health websites in the world.

One of the keys to Wellsphere’s success is the breadth of knowledge across its network of experts and experienced health writers, and within its caring community. Wellsphere’s network of writers and bloggers includes almost 1,500 of the leading medical minds from Stanford, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Yale and other top Medical Schools, as well as patients facing difficult diseases who bravely share their stories of survival. Wellsphere is extremely selective in admitting writers into its network, ensuring that they are highly credible, eloquent, and caring. By creating such an extensive writer network, Wellsphere is able to connect users with a variety of personal and medical perspectives on any health issue. In addition to expert and patient articles, WellPages present a holistic view, including relevant news, articles, videos and pictures from reliable sources ranging from the FDA and Harvard Medical School to leading health and fitness magazines. Instead of having to spend hours visiting many different websites to get a complete answer to their health concerns, users can instantly get a complete picture within seconds.

In addition to providing advice and information, Wellsphere’s community gives members the support they need to deal with health issues and the motivation to achieve their healthy living goals. In addition to hosting its free, public website, Wellsphere builds proprietary health community platforms to help large organizations improve their employees’ health, and reduce healthcare costs. Stanford University’s BeWell@Stanford platform – powered by Wellsphere at http://stanford.wellsphere.com – has demonstrated the power of community to engage tens of thousands of people in taking steps to improve their health and well-being. Within the Stanford community, Wellsphere’s BeWell platform has achieved incredible results, driving an unprecedented level of engagement in healthy activities and behaviors across Stanford’s faculty, staff and students. Wellsphere’s public community is beginning to replicate this success on a global scale.

In addition to connecting users with a wealth of personalized information and the most knowledgeable, caring community on the Web, Wellsphere provides an innovative suite of tools – for free – to enable users to take steps to improve their health. Wellphone, Wellsphere’s mobile platform, enables users to send themselves text message reminders to go to the gym or take their medication, receive daily health & fitness tips (WellTips!), search for local health and wellness resources, and even log progress on their health goals – all from their mobile phone. Wellternatives helps users make healthier menu choices at their favorite restaurants by providing nutrition information for menu items at thousands of restaurants across the country – and even suggesting a healthier alternative. WellPrizes allow users to harness the power of incentives by declaring a reward for themselves when they achieve a goal of their choosing. WellWidgets, Wellsphere’s widget platform, let users take Wellsphere to-go by adding the Wellternatives menu lookup engine, daily WellTips or Wellevation – daily motivational quotes – to their blogs or social networking profiles.
