How It Works

How it works

Curbside is a unique platform where both patients and healthcare professionals can contribute to and share insights on diseases and treatments. It’s a mix of Wikipedia and Yelp, where everyone has the ability to add, edit, and rate information to help make informed healthcare decisions.

 
  1. Search for a Disease
    Use the search bar to find detailed information about any disease. You’ll find descriptions, symptoms, treatment options, and user-generated ratings and reviews.  Can’t find a disease, add a new one and see what other think.
 
  1. Add or Edit Disease Pages
    Have more information or updates? Whether you’re a patient or a doctor, you can add new diseases or update existing pages. Contribute to the knowledge base by sharing your experience or expertise.
 
  1. Rate & Review Treatments
    Tried a treatment? Rate it from 1 to 5 stars and share your thoughts:
    • Was it effective?
    • Any side effects?
    • Would you recommend it to others?
      Both patients and doctors can contribute their perspectives, creating a more rounded view of each treatment.

General Guidelines for All Users:

  • Collaborate Openly: Both patients and doctors have equal ability to edit disease pages, add treatments, ask questions, and share experiences. It’s a shared platform built on community knowledge.

  • Respectful Communication: Ensure your comments and discussions are respectful and constructive. The goal is to foster a positive, supportive environment.

  • Informed Decisions: Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting new treatments or making significant health decisions based on Curbside’s information.
