Get health information with iMedix
iMedix is a simple site for people who want to know more about medical conditions. If you want to know about anything from ADHD to Vertigo, you’re bound to find someone who can help you with what you want to know. The site seems to be very much along the lines of “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” in that, there isn’t exactly any “knowledge base” - you make a profile and privately contact people based on what you are trying to get information on.
So, as I log into the site and want to find out about Vertigo, I’ll see a list of people who are interested in that particular topic and are willing to take your questions. You’ll see if they are online or not. If the user you want to speak with is not online, you can send them a message, but if they are you can do a chat with them right there and then. Very nice and useful.
My one issue with the site is that going from one person to the other may become tedious. If there was an option to talk to multiple people on at the same time it would be much more helpful. Overall it’s actually a pretty useful site, though it could be even more useful if there was a knowledge base on medical conditions as other sites like wrongdiagnosis have.
I was overall impressed with the site. The functionality and design as well as the aim of the site are great. Anyone wanting invites can leave a comment.

Great post!
It seems to be a very useful and easy to use site.
Is it a search engine for health as well?

As far as we can tell, no, just a way to communicate with other people on health issues. Let me know if you want an invite.

Of course it is a search engine!
And from what I can tell it’s one of the site’s main features. I actually used it a couple of times since I got the invitation, and I have to say they have excellent results.

I actually suffered from Vertigo after I had an ear infection and would love to test this medical search and community site vs Google. Can anybody send me an invite? I could really use something like this. I can’t believe people are putting their pics and talking about their health issues.

Evan, I got your invitation to iMedix yesterday (sorry for not replying sooner) thank you very much.
The site is terrific, the information I found there was unbelievable, they have everything about everything and most of the search results I got were very reliable. Not to mention the community platform to advise with other users who happens to know certain things from their own personal experiences. Just Super
