Health Outcome, a Palo Alto, Calif.-based consumer website, launched a crowdsourcing platform for patients to share their healthcare treatment experiences.
Here are three key notes:
1. Patients have already contributed more than 50,000 treatment ratings.
2. About 25,000 ratings included back pain treatments, of which 84 percent of patients noted they are still experiencing pain post-surgery.
3. The platform's purpose is to offer objective information about various treatment outcomes.
