Medical information provider VideoMD, US, has announced the launch of VideoMD.com, a new website that focuses on physician generated video health information. The site is a video sharing site that helps doctors educate their own patients by uploading educational videos to their individual page of VideoMD. Patients then search for their doctor by name.
Videos are reviewed for medical content, and the most relevant become featured videos. VideoMD seeks to build a comprehensive library of health videos from trusted doctors, as well as some of the pre-eminent specialists in their field of medicine. Another innovative feature of the site allows patients and families to create communities, so patients can bond and educate one another. This video blogging feature creates communities where they can powerfully communicate through video.
Created by physicians, for physicians and their patients, VideoMD seeks to strengthen the relationship between doctors and their patients. Using contemporary technology to help physicians fully educate patients on their specific healthcare concerns, VideoMD provides a forum which is tailored for each and every doctor and patient. With modern video capabilities on the internet, combined with an array of searchable content features, video is seen to be the best resource to give patients information that they need in an easy and understandable format.
