Reviews: What People Think About StuffThatWorks

Kyra I.

Rating: 5/5

I really like this app. It’s very informative, even as someone who’s been managing chronic illnesses for 8 years, as there’s always something new to learn. I love that it shows the most tried and best treatments from people‘s real experiences. It makes me feel empowered and that I can be in the conversation when talking with my doctor about treatment plans. The analytics from the AI program are also being constantly updated based on new reports from incoming members, which is nice. It means that the reports and results are in real time and won’t be outdated. Another thing that is beneficial is being able to see other people like me in these communities. A lot of the time, chronic illness can be isolating, but this makes me feel like my experiences are valid and I’m not alone. There are so many people out there that are similar to me health-wise. I think the best thing about StuffThatWorks is that people want to help each other succeed on this app. People post polls and questions and they’re always answered with support and no judgement, unlike other group forums I’ve been a part of. The only tricky part for me is actually seeing responses to my posts and polls on the app. I would love if we could make that more easily accessible. Other than that, I have nothing negative to say. This app is a must-have for someone trying to manage both physical and/or mental illness.

I was a bit skeptical because of the overall meh reviews, but after looking through all the 1 star reviews I wanted to give it a go. I absolutely love the app. They do have a privacy agreement. The information is safe and nothing is shared within the communities without consent, and information isn’t sold. The surveys are admittedly long, but I love that! Having THAT much more detail and overall information for every condition is so important to find trends in what most likely will or won’t help with treatment/pain/symptoms. I don’t know anyone else personally who has CRPS, so having a little community of people to view shared symptoms and feelings about the condition, as well as seeing how common depression/PTSD was as a comorbidity, made me feel a bit of relief. The user base is admittedly limited simply because of the amount of users putting in their info isn’t massive, but you can still find overall trends for most efficient and most common treatments. The #1 most effective treatment was one I had considered in the past, but ultimately decided against. I plan to revisit it now after seeing how it has made a difference for others, because any relief with CRPS is huge. Again, I love this app. It will only continue to improve as it grows!

I recently discovered this app, and in doing so, I couldn’t help but wish that I knew of it sooner. A little over three years ago, I was diagnosed with a chronic illness. This left me feeling very overwhelmed, lost, and confused on how to go about managing my condition. I felt like there was nobody I could turn to in my immediate circle for help, because no one else shared the same diagnosis. That’s why I’ve become such a huge fan of this app! It’s provided me with the opportunity to hear from others with the same condition about what treatments work and what treatments don’t work for them. It’s also great to receive advice from people who know what you’re going through, and this helps me feel less alone in my journey!

About StuffThatWorks

Do you have a chronic condition? You are no longer alone. Join the community for your condition, see the experience of others, and share yours. Contact people directly or join the community’s discussion. The information everyone shares is turned into real data that helps the community. Treatments, symptoms, triggers, what works and what doesn't and more.

It’s more than a community. Using crowdsourcing, we’re building the ultimate knowledge base for your chronic condition, together. Everyone’s experience is turned into real data and useful insights, including organized information on how others experience the condition and AI analysis of which treatments work best and for whom. The more people share, the smarter it becomes.

Millions of experiences are turned into useful features:

• Organized information about hundreds of treatments, symptoms, triggers, co-existing conditions, side effects and more
• A list of the most effective and most detrimental treatments, based on AI-analysis (once your community has enough members)
• Keep track of your overall health and wellbeing with a personalized timeline, composed of your daily updates and objective health metrics from wearables (including automatic integration with the Health app)
• View other members’ reports
• Easily interact with others on the discussion board and chat
• Get access to an interactive map of members by similarity – those closest are the most similar to you
• Add your own research questions for the entire community to answer
• Search the data for people who tried a specific treatment or had similar circumstances
• With time, as more contributors join, you’ll learn which treatment works best for your AI-identified subgroup, tailored to your characteristics

There are 750+ conditions on StuffThatWorks. Here are a few of them: Asthma, migraine, psoriasis, endometriosis, long COVID, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, BPD, Lupus, MS, Crohn’s, IBS, arthritis, hypertension, diabetes, PCOS, menopause, sleep apnea, hypothyroidism, tinnitus, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, narcissistic abuse, obesity, acne, epilepsy, anorexia, eczema, OCD, lupus, restless leg syndrome, and many more…
