I have enjoyed doing some freelance editing and writing for Sharecare.com over the past few months.

Sharecare is an interactive, social Q&A platform designed to simplify the search for quality healthcare information and help consumers live their healthiest life. Sharecare is empowering users with high-quality, relevant answers to their health questions from multiple expert perspectives and with interactive health and wellness tools to take action on what they’ve learned.

Below are examples of quizzes I compiled for them from their expert resources.

  • Hepatitis
  • Mammogram Exam
  • Headaches 101
  • Healthy Eyes
  • The Lowdown on Depression
  • Sleep Solutions
  • Beat the Bloat
  • Leaky Bladder
  • Top Germiest Spots
  • Immunity Boosters
  • Hearing Smarts
  • Family History
  • Healthy Job Habits
  • Personality Disorders
  • Cold or Flu?

CrashFlasher White Paper

,
Gayle

The St. Christopher Project, an organization dedicated to saving lives by improving the safety of drivers everywhere, approached me to write a white paper on the dangers of distracted driving and roadside crashes. Their new and innovative product, the CrashFlasher, is designed to help alert traffic of a roadside vehicle. Of interest to them for this effort were 1)  the prevalence of distracted driving due to inattention other than the obvious and well-researched effect of the use of technology and 2) roadside crashes into disabled or stationary vehicles.

Considerable research using government and non-government publications was involved in this project. The white paper,Crashes Into Disabled or Stopped Vehicles: An Under-Estimated Danger in Today’s Distracted World, is currently in use on their web site as a marketing tool for fleet sales of the product.

This was a story that ran in the well of Coastal Living magazine. I researched and wrote the piece and arranged for free photos. For the web, I created a complete package including a slideshow, product piece, and video of the event.
