Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Kapil Gupta discuss the following:

• Tell us about MedCircle.  It seems to be part health information, part social network, and part a platform for practitioners to better engage with their patients.  How do you describe it?
• What was the impetus for MedCircle?  Why did you create it?  Was there a certain issue you wanted to address with it?
• How has the response been thus far?  What are those coming to the site saying about MedCircle?
• One very interesting feature of MedCircle is the ability for people to share their health experiences with others in sort of a social media way. Why is this a big part of the platform and how does it make MedCircle different?
• There are a lot of online properties that have health information available, such as WebMD.  MedCircle does to, but what makes yours different?  A simple Google search can net a consumer a lot of information.
• Healthcare practitioners can be a part of the MedCircle platform.  Can you explain how that works and why it benefits them?
• I understand that you have partnerships with a number of healthcare organizations?  How do they play into the MedCircle platform?
• What’s next for MedCircle?

Summary: There is a lot of healthcare information out there and and it is not easy to find reliable good information just by a Google search. You dont even have an idea where things are pubslished and more importantly people dont have time to do this search. Further you dont know what you, is credible?  Can you trust the source to be reliable?  Your health is extremely precious to you and your loved ones.  So why make decisions based on unvetted, questionable sources when there are resources out there like MedCircle that is designed to deliver healthcare education from real doctors and those who have first-hand knowledge and experience with a health issue one may be experiencing.
