Treatment Evaluation: A valuable feature for you and the community

Why is keeping track of your treatments important for your health? And what is the power in all of us doing it together as a community?

PatientsLikeMe Treatment Evaluation

Keeping track of medications and treatments can feel overwhelming sometimes. Questions like "when will I know if this medication is working for me?" or "is this side effect normal after two weeks?" are very common. But you may not have a good record of whether a treatment is working for you, whether you are experiencing side effects, or you are having a hard time following a routine.

This is why it is important to have a good record of whether or not a treatment is working for you. The PatientsLikeMe Treatment Evaluation feature makes it easy to record and recall the effectiveness, side effects, unexpected benefits, and other aspects of each of your treatments and medications. A list of your reported treatments is easy to access right from your Home Page.

Improve Your Care

Your Treatment History page offers trends and insights to share with your care team so you can make data-driven decisions to improve your care.

Here is what one of our members had to say about it: 

“One of the best things about the PatientLikeMe platform for me is using it to track my treatments and symptoms,” says Shannon, a 2020 Team of Advisors member living with PTSD. “Once you do it long enough, you have a huge resource for providing information at medical appointments.”

Help others improve their care

Completing your evaluation also helps fellow members learn from your experiences. They can access crowd-sourced treatment experiences from people who know best – others like you who have taken the medication or treatment.

You can see Treatment Report pages filtered by their specific condition—for everything from prescription and over the counter drugs to supplements, therapies, exercises, procedures, and more. Members can also read other patients' comments about a treatment, and reach out directly to a person with questions or advice.
