Trust a Provider. Not the Internet.

What is Healthswim?

Healthswim is your trusted partner in searching the internet for credible medical information. Healthswim brings together information seekers, like yourself, and licensed healthcare providers. When you search for a medical condition on the mobile app, every piece of information has been picked by a healthcare provider — preferably your own.

Why Healthswim?

The internet is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it provides a wealth of information. On the other, it can be difficult to know what information to trust.

The US National Institute of Health recommends this quick checklist when searching for reliable health information online:

Is the sponsor/owner of the website a federal agency, medical school, or large professional or nonprofit organization, or is it related to one of these?
If not sponsored by a federal agency, medical school, or large professional or nonprofit organization, is the website written by a healthcare professional or does it reference one of these trustworthy sources for its health information?
Why was the site created? Is the mission or goal of the website sponsor clear?
Can you see who works for the agency or organization and who authored the information? Is there a way to contact the sponsor of the website?
When was the information written or webpage last updated?
Is your privacy protected?
Does the website offer unbelievable solutions to your health problem(s)? Are quick, miracle cures promised?

Our platform allows healthcare providers to share content directly to patients on a mobile app, in a format similar to a social media feed.

You want information that is specific to your needs, provided by a credible source, and delivered in a private environment.

Healthswim directly provides you with content that has been approved by a healthcare provider — preferably your own. By choosing specific topics of interest, you can customize the content that is most relevant to your needs.

How does it work?

Your engagement journey begins by downloading the Healthswim mobile app. Our platform facilitates you to connect with already vetted health information in area of your interest. Any new information automatically becomes available to you. For example, if you follow a provider for high cholesterol, you will only see content regarding high cholesterol that has been ‘posted’ by them. If a new study is published and the data is relevant to you, if your provider writes about it, you will be notified. Since you are not in social media setting, no outside person can see what content you are interacting with or what providers, diseases or topics you follow. Even the healthcare providers who are providing the content do not see your name if you love or save their post.
