24 alternatives to Instawell, an anonymous community for our health + New API

My co-founder & I wanted to log our health ups and downs, with each other, with strangers dealing with similar problems & maybe even with medical professionals. We are very proud to share our brand new service - Instawell. Instawell is an anonymous public network for sharing health issues and connecting with doctors. You post an issue, track it, update it, and get simple feedback. You can invite a friend to share the issue, so you can both track something while remaining anonymous to everyone else. People can discover others dealing with the same issues and around them. Instawell is offered…

    My mom was recently diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's both an overwhelming diagnosis but also an overwhelming flood of information, documents, appointments, options and questions. I needed a place to keep track of it all and also a place to ask questions, do research and help my parents and family do the same. So, naturally, I built something. Not charging anything for it at the moment (and with as much AI as I've got layered into this, frankly it's gonna cost me a nice chunk of change to run it). Mostly interested in just making this as useful as possible to families going…

    We have been working on the Charting Chaos podcast (currently only available on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chartingchaos?_t=8d7RtZh51Rq&_r=1) and encountered some traction. We have been building the Charting Chaos forum to give a place for healthcare providers to connect with each other in a private, verified way. The idea is that your license number is required when creating an account so we can verify asynchronously that users are genuine, healthcare workers. Let us know what you think!

    I hope you are doing better today than yesterday. (TLDR in the comments; or enjoy my story :) ) Why: About 11 months ago, I launched my app for the first time on Reddit's r/lonely because I had previously experienced loneliness myself during grad school. I wanted to reach out to people going through similar experiences by providing them with what would’ve helped me in the past. I felt this was an important mission for me and a much more rewarding one than my day job that I quit my job to work on the app full-time. It was necessary because I did not come from a programming background. I…

    I created Curenote, a social way for people to get help with their health problems. Others who may have experienced the same health problem can offer their knowledge and advice on what they did to cure their ailment or illness. People can offer their advice and support on topics such as cancer/diabetes, sexual health, drugs & alcohol, violence, diet & fitness and many more. Please let me know what you think. Your honest feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!

    Hello HN community, For the past year we’ve been working on this disruptive new thing. It’s about people, community, communication and truth. Throw is the new space for asking and answering questions anonymously. We believe that in today’s world (both online and offline) content in communication exchanges is strongly influenced by the personas, profiles and façades people maintain/upkeep/safeguard socially, ideologically and on relationships. From the way people post on Instagram the life they want others to believe they have, or the way people behave on thanksgiving with family,…

    Hey HN! I built https://withmurph.ai, an open-source personal health assistant to help you build healthy habits that actually stick. Everyone has something they want to improve, but it's way too hard to change your behavior. I've been using Murph myself for weeks, I've started a few sleep improvement experiments with Murph that've improved my deep sleep already, and run some challenges over group-text with friends. Murph has three key features 1) Talk to Murph on iMessage, Telegram, and Email and connect labs/wearable data 2) Run health experiments with proactive check-ins and…
