I think a niche certainly exists for your product...

If you could manage to land an ad in AARP-The Magazine for instance, I think you'd be pleasantly surprised at the response...that demographic is of an age where many common ailments begin to show up...

I'd caution you to give the idea of adding a "Share with your doctor" option very careful thought before implementing it...

Some physicians don't mind patients that attempt to research their ailments online prior to an appointment...others dread seeing patients arrive with printouts from the internet...

This is anecdotal from my wife's side of the family, which includes 2 physicians, a dentist, and a physical therapist...

Having said that, times are changing...

Good luck!

Thanks. We've had an overwhelming response even from just the tech community submitting articles on all sorts of things ranging from hypopharangeal cancer and beyond.
