Long Island Health Startup Takes on an Alternative to Health Information

HICKSVILLE, N.Y. - June 14, 2013 - PRLog -- American Health Journal http://www.AmericanHealthJournal.com is the latest in online health startups. Run and operated here on Long Island by SEO Pledge http://www.SEOPledge.com, the website hosts medical videos of doctors discussing illnesses and treatments. AmericanHealthJournal.com is backed by Canrock Ventures, a New York based venture capital fund, and features the largest library of health related videos on the web. Their 3,000+ videos reach thousands of people each month and offer information on nearly every medical topic including: pain management, heart health, childhood development, weight loss, and etc.

What makes AHJ stand out from their competitors? AmericanHealthJournal.com informs users about traditional medicine through their use of alternative medical videos. While the leading online health portals give their information in the form of blogs, AHJ lets you hear and see the information directly through a filmed interview of a medical professional. American Health Journal films thee doctors on location and follows them in their working environment as they interact with their patients and staff. These doctors speak in a Question/Answer format about various diseases, illnesses and treatment options. It is easier for a user to relate to video a doctor speaking from his/her office rather than only reading text that other pages offer on sites such as WebMD or Everyday Health.

AHJ’s videos are the same videos that families watching PBS have trusted for health information since 1988. Viewers are now online in easy to view bite-sized segments—between 30 seconds to 3 minutes. Each video provides a wealth of knowledge to their viewers from medical professionals ranging from local family doctors to Nobel Prize winners. American Health Journal is dedicated to educating the public on health care issues by providing their audience information on the latest medical treatments and discoveries. They will continue this dedication as they expand their compilation of quality health information.
