Healthocrates.com is a developing medical resource where everyone contributes knowledge about any medical related issue. This site is designed as a community effort to include physicians, health care professionals, and Individuals who are interested in helping us build, organize, and update health and medical information worldwide. Our goal is to develop an encyclopedia of health information which is easily readable, including audiovisual images, as well as providing a forum for discussion, questions and responses about health care issues.
Healthocrates is a collaborative effort to create and keep current a large database of knowledge about medical related items. To date this community has posted 6,000 + medical articles to this site. They are growing at the rate of 1,500 articles per month. The marketing dilemma is to develop a community to support such an effort. MVI's marketing branding and plan was to develop a health community by using the Wiki technology.
To get the project started, MVI assembled authoritative information from NLM, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and other government agencies and health-related organizations. The site provided searches easy access to medical journal articles collected by experts and interested members of the health community who have provided content. Healthocrates sites display articles about Health Topics, Current Research Studies, Diseases and Conditions, Drug Therapy, Mental Health and Alternative Medicine. Healthocrates' site has sub categories about each main subject. The sub sections are Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention and Discussion Forums where site members are encouraged to update Healthocrates medical knowledge.
Healthocrates has a member ratings system that rewards members that are active in our community. Submitting useful information such as new articles, participating in forums, and correcting or adding to existing articles are all ways you can elevate your ranking within the community.
There are 3 different types of icons we use to represent our members. We have physicians, health care professionals, and general members. You are assigned to one of these categories when you create your account. You start out in good standing with one star as you see above. As you progress you will receive more stars, up to a total of 3. A member with 3 stars is in excellent standing in the community. |
