About Health Loom
Why we made Health Loom
A visit with your doctor can be as short as 15 minutes. That's rarely enough time to ask everything you want to, let alone understand the answers. You deserve more time than a busy clinic can give.
We believe patients, and the friends and family who support them, need to be their own advocates and advocates for the people around them. That's why good health education has never mattered more.
But keeping up with health research is more than a full-time job. The evidence keeps changing, and everyone's situation is a little different.
Health Loom is here to help close that gap, one question at a time. We take the questions real people ask and answer them with short, animated explainer videos that make the evidence easy to understand.
How we make each video. Every episode starts with a question. We dig into the research and check every claim against its primary source, and every source is cited, about 40 in an average video. A human researcher reviews every video before it's published. The videos are for education, not a substitute for advice from your own clinician.
What have you always wanted to ask?
It's free, and you can stay anonymous.
