Harnessing Health 2.0: Hopecube.com Launches, Coupling Compassion With The Cutting Edge

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) September 13, 2007 -- Starting today, patients of every ilk, and medical professionals alike, have a rich, new online environment for sharing information and support - with the launch of Hopecube.com.

Hopecube.com is unique in that it takes the "user-generated content" concept - like MySpace or YouTube - and applies it to the specific needs of patients and doctors. Dubbed a "Health 2.0" site, it seamlessly integrates cutting-edge technology with easy-to-use tools - so even those with poor computer skills can participate.

Hopecube.com also offers doctors a distinct advantage, by giving them direct access to patients through a social networking interface. For example, a doctor can add all his patients into his "social network" - then, post bulletins and blogs to share breakthroughs and information with everyone, or check up on a single patient's progress through the patient's blogs.

George Ruan, founder of Hopecube.com, hopes this groundbreaking approach will spark a grassroots online community for sharing personal medical experiences, finding answers, and relating to others in "health crisis" - something that has been sorely lacking in the industry.

"Last year, I watched a close friend of mine battle lymphoma," said Ruan. "As he fought for his life, I was struck by how little communication took place within the current medical system. So, I set out to change that."

"Our patient-centric site takes off where more 'static,' informational sites, leave off," said Ruan. "At Hopecube.com, members get a much richer, interactive environment. Blogs, photos and - in the near future - music and videos, give patients a more personal experience than text-based message boards."

These "richer" features allow patients and doctors to:

? Create a personalized home page, highlighting their medical areas of interest

? Share information and experiences via profile, photos, message board, and blogs.

? Search, by category, for others who share a similar journey

? Find doctors who specialize in a particular field

? Get information and answers for a myriad of health issues

"So whether a person is struggling with depression or Alzheimer's, cancer or financial difficulties - or any of life's difficulties - support is always there, 24 hours a day," said Ruan. "I think everyone can benefit in some way, from a site like this."
