WEGO Health has been making a name for itself as one of the only social media networks on the Web that is dedicated to the healthcare field. This particular social network is populated by experts and others who work in the medical field and bring specialized knowledge of the industry due to personal experiences. The company recently announced the launch of a new IVR tool, called Truvio, that will help make information passed back and forth on the network that much more accurate and accessible.
The WEGO network has over 65,000 opted-in consumer and health influencers that come from more than 130 health conditions and topics. Truvio will also allow for health consultants, researchers and companies to see and tap into the wisdom and advice of these contributors that much easier. When they do log on to the WEGO health network, they will be able to get feedback on questions and submitted information in real time.
Truvio’s mobile research platform makes the process in general that much easier by what the company calls getting the “true voice” of health consumers. The Truvio mobile platform collects the result in real time of WEGO’s hyper engaged consumer influencers. These members will be able to respond quickly with more informed opinions. TheVoice Response system makes it that much easier for the opinions to be entered into the database, even by people who may not be as technologically advanced as others might like.
“Health is really social media’s higher calling and with Truvio, consumer health influencers are empowered to become change agents for the millions of patients who follow them,” said WEGO Health CEO Jack Barrette. “Advances in healthcare can’t wait. Truvio connects industry and influencers – fast – in a way that benefits both.”
