The Founder's Story

feelWell Online was originally developed to give busy people a portal to easily collect and manage private information about personal subjects such as healthcare, weight management and childcare. My husband and I had our first child when I was 20 years old and we were ecstatic. Then the heartbreaking news came: Quinton was born with bilateral clubfeet, also called Congenital Talipes Equinovarus, and he had severe asthma, eczema and food allergies. The hunt for treatment was on from the day we brought him home. Quinton suffered from colic and couldn't keep any food down. His skin was constantly infected, he was on antibiotics and steroids and he was underweight at his wellbaby visits. My husband blamed the host of hereditary diseases in my family, and basically me for our son's health conditions.

We struggled to find answers and effective treatments. We were very concerned that our son was prescribed adult medications because there were no studies and clinical trials for Quinton's eczema, asthma and food allergies with children. At the time, I was a software developer and project manager, so I figured the only way to help my son was to take matters into my own hands. I designed feelWell Online to document Quinton's conditions and symptoms for his doctor's visits, noticing that having accurate and complete information at each visit was crucial to the search for effective treatments. I added a reporting tool that allowed me to look at his health history in a simple way and analyze when his most difficult days, weeks and months were. I could even share his information with my other family members, and they could add information to feelWell Online when things happened when he spent time with them on weekends.

Joining The Cause

Since then, feelWell Online has become a powerful lifestyle site that helps people contribute to clinical research by contributing personalized health content with help from their family, friends and professionals. feelWell Online is changing how people view their lives and the effect they can have on the world by giving them a voice and a network to share their experiences with.
