What People are Saying about CureTogether

WIRED Blog Network “Very promising”
The Health Care Blog “The hope of services like… CureTogether is that the body of knowledge from both genomics and overall patient experiences will advance fast enough that the current situation of ‘more diagnosis with less ability to change the outcome’ will slowly change to one where knowing your likely health future will help you avert some of the worse consequences.”
HealthCare Today “User friendly… clearly has an audience that is paying attention.”
Technology Watch “Twitter for your health.”
