Proper Citation: PatientsLikeMe (RRID:SCR_003781)

Description: A for-profit health data-sharing platform that can transform the way patients manage their conditions, change the way industry conducts research and improve patient care. PatientsLikeMe aligns patient and industry interests through data-sharing partnerships. They work with trusted nonprofit, research and industry Partners who use this health data to improve products, services and care for patients. They take the information patients share about their experience with the disease and sell it to their partners (i.e., companies that are developing or selling products to patients). These products may include drugs, devices, equipment, insurance, and medical services. Except for the restricted personal information entered when registering for the site, participants should expect that every piece of information submitted (even if it is not currently displayed) may be shared with their partners and any member of PatientsLikeMe, including other patients. They do not rent, sell or share personally identifiable information for marketing purposes or without explicit consent. Because they believe in transparency, they tell members exactly what they do and do not do with their data. Patients have the opportunity to share both personal stories and health data about their conditions to help uncover great ideas and new knowledge. By sharing information on the site, they can put their disease experiences in context and find answers to the questions they have. Every partnership we develop must bring them closer to aligning patient and industry interests. Their end goal is improved patient care and quality of life.
