CrowdMed

CrowdMed harnesses the wisdom of crowds to collaboratively solve even the world’s most difficult medical cases quickly and accurately online. The company offers individuals, insurance providers, and self-insured corporate customers the ability to more quickly diagnose medical conditions and reduce healthcare costs without compromising care.

Founded by veteran technology entrepreneur Jared Heyman and based in San Francisco, CrowdMed has received more than $2.4 million in funding from some of Silicon Valley's top venture capital firms including NEA, Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners, SV Angel, Khosla Ventures and Y Combinator. The company's advisors have founded and run some the world’s most successful online healthcare companies including WebMD.

CrowdMed graduated from Y Combinator's Winter 2013 class, and was officially launched during the TEDMED 2013 conference in Washington DC.

CrowdMed's founder, Jared Heyman, almost lost his own sister to a medical mystery that took nearly three years, nearly two dozen doctors, and more than $100,000 in medical expenses to diagnose. Her medical mystery was eventually solved by a large, interdisciplinary team of top-notch medical experts who all collaborated and worked together, and remained focused on the case for as long as it took to reach a consensus-based diagnosis.

CrowdMed takes this concept to the next level, helping anyone connect to a world of medical experts, all working together to solve medical mysteries.
