| Source: Healthwise
BOISE, ID--(Marketwire - July 18, 2007) - Healthwise today announced an agreement with
Revolution Health Group to make comprehensive consumer health content more
widely available and to enable more people to make better health decisions.
Healthwise will provide a core source of expert content on
RevolutionHealth.com, a new Web site designed to transform how people get
their health information.
Revolution Health and Healthwise share the goal of empowering consumers to
make well-informed decisions about their health. By combining efforts, the
companies expect to better engage consumers by providing information on a
range of important health issues, such as conditions, treatments, and
healthy living topics all in one free and easy-to-use site --
RevolutionHealth.com.
"Over the past decade, Americans have learned to rely on the Internet to
become their own travel agents, stockbrokers, and retirement planners,"
said Donald W. Kemper, founder and CEO of Healthwise. "Americans are ready
to take more control over their health through the resources available on
the Internet today. The agreement between Healthwise and Revolution Health
gives them the information, tools, and communities of knowledge they need
to make this transformation happen."
RevolutionHealth.com helps consumers gain control of their health by
combining the wealth of Healthwise® information with communities of
personal insight and wisdom. The site leverages the best expert advice and
marries it with the power of social networking and more than 125 online
tools to help inform and empower consumers to take more control of their
health.
To support the new role of the patient, Revolution Health will employ the
trusted, evidence-based health information from the Healthwise
Knowledgebase. The Healthwise Knowledgebase at RevolutionHealth.com
includes more than 6,000 online health topics ranging from managing chronic
conditions to maintaining good health.
