We spend so much time talking about all-things TeachStreet that we sometimes forget there are other “little engines that could” striving to make the world a better place — one of them, Trusera, just officially went live last night, and we couldn’t be happier for them.

Trusera.com, which allows consumers to find and share real-world health experiences with others who’ve been there, is a new online health network founded by a good friend, Keith Schorsch (and fellow ex-Amazon.com alumni). The company vision was based on Keith’s own struggle with Lyme disease and the difficulty in finding credible health insights from others. After meeting with 11 doctors, it was one phone call from a friend that finally led to his diagnosis and saved his life.

During his diagnosis and recovery, Keith realized that there’s actually too much health information on the Internet today. Many people find it overwhelming to navigate and hard to trust. He found the most useful information came from people with similar health experiences and their own personal health stories. He founded Trusera to inspire people to learn from each other to inform important health decisions.
