Getting to Know HealthTree Connect and the Future of HealthTree Products
We know there is a deep need for patients and caregivers to ask each other myeloma based questions and get quick and organized answers. We also want to provide a way for our Chapters Communities to connect with each other outside of their monthly meetings. While we previously had Community Forums, that product has now been updated and improved to be HealthTree Connect. Whether you're a fan of Facebook or not, we believe all myeloma patients and caregivers can benefit from Connect. Join us to ask your questions and be one of the first to try our new product!
Audrey introduces the agenda of the event and featured speaker Tanner Thomas.
Todd and Tanner explain the history of Connect, the purpose of the new product, and the future of Product projects at HealthTree.
Type your questions in the chat and we will answer them!
