Having health problems is part of life. Once you or someone you care for was diagnosed as being sick, you will spare no time, effort or money in order to find out as much as you can about the illness and possible treatments. Supports from others are needed in times like that, especially supports from people dealing (or had dealt) with the same situations. This is where MDJunction comes in.
MDJunction is a healthcare community with a healthy attitude, a free center for online support groups. It provides all medical information (including doctor reviews and ratings, posts and articles), submitted by its users. MDJunction does not claim to be a medical source or authority, and serves only as a platform for information exchange. With MDJunction, you can add your doctors and rate them accordingly, or submit your own article on various health topics. You can also add other members to become your friends, wear a ribbon to support your cause and increase people’s awareness on certain diseases, and participate in health-related forum discussions. The newest addition of MDJunction is the Breast Cancer Support Group page (more support groups are coming soon). This page is dedicated for patients, families and friends dealing with breast cancer.
Overall, MDJunction is a useful website for people who wants to know everything about health-related issues. It is based on a community that shares, so the more doctors and opinion/articles added to MDJunction‘s search database, the more people will benefit from the shared knowledge. However, there are some improvements need to be made on the website in terms of its functionality. Made by Joomla CMS, MDJunction has some limitations on member to member interactions and searches. In “My Profile” page, there should be a way we can search for people to add as friends. Nonetheless, the limitations are not significant that it interferes with what MDJunction is for. On a related note, WorldTechLogic has covered one social networking site on STD Dating Service called Prescription4Love. Although on a different niche, both leads to the development of support groups of like-minded people.
