Online patient communities are patient-led, online groups where patients, caregivers, doctors, researchers, and others come together with a focus on a particular disease - to share stories and offer support and information and even to develop solutions where needed.
Research has shown that when people living with the same chronic illness connect with and learn from each other, ask questions, get referrals, and share tips with other people who personally understand what it's like to live with that illness, health outcomes improve.
