New parenting advice site comes with electronic health records included
First-time entrepreneurs Jackson Wilkinson and Keith Muth have just beta-launched a website they think will help parents save money on trips to the doctor by creating a secure network for reliable, up-to-date and best parenting advice. WeSprout is described by its founders as a "tight, high-quality community" of parents looking for advice "without a lot of noise." Parents pay $50 a year to subscribe to the site and create personal health records for their children that include height and weight, medicines taken, developmental milestones and immunization charts. The information in those records directs parents to the best fellow community members to answer whatever questions they pose in the site’s question-and-answer section. Wilkinson said that although all of the personal health information must be entered manually now, he hopes that eventually the site’s system could be integrated with doctors’ electronic medical records systems.
