Join the conversation!

Smart Patients is an online community where patients and caregivers learn from each other about treatments, clinical trials, the latest science, and how it all fits into the context of their experience.

  • Use our built-in clinical trial search engine to find relevant trials and discuss them with the community.
  • Get help and advice from patients who have your same illness and similar complications or treatments.
  • Patients often become extraordinarily knowledgeable and get better care by learning from each other. You can, too.

Smart Patients say…

  • Being in the Smart Patients community has been transformative for me – it's one thing to believe that patients and caregivers collectively hold vast knowledge and wisdom, and quite another to experience it up close.

  • There are some smart doctors and medical researchers around and there are even more smart patients! I'm excited about this interactive forum where valuable knowledge, insight and innovative ideas are traded for free.

  • A friend has multiple myeloma. She takes thalidomide and has had two autologous stem cell transplants and one from her brother. She’s seven years into this. I've heard multiple myeloma has no cure and causes death in 5 to 10 years. Is this correct? I'd like to know.
