WEGO Health (www.wegohealth.com), the first online home for consumer health opinion leaders,  announced a breakthrough in social consumer research with the introduction of Truvio (www.Truvio.com), the first influencer-powered, voice-response mobile research platform for the healthcare and biotechnology industries.

Truvio is powered by the WEGO Health Activist Network of more than 65,000 opted-in and vetted consumer health influencers from more than 130 health conditions and topics. Each WEGO Health Activist actively contributes to multiple online health communities. With Truvio, health consultants, researchers and companies can tap into the wisdom of these informed and passionate consumer health opinion leaders, getting on-demand feedback instead of waiting for more traditional research. Quantitative, Qualitative, and FAST Truvio's innovative mobile research platform accelerates the process of obtaining the true voice of health consumers, as the Truvio mobile platform collects results in real time and WEGO Health's hyper-engaged consumer influencer members respond quickly with informed opinions.

Health Activists complete quantitative surveys via their smartphone's keypad and are then prompted to provide qualitative comments verbally. This combination of mobile inputs improves response rates and delivers deeper results on topics that are mission-critical to researchers in a way that no standalone survey or focus group could deliver.

"Health is really social media's higher calling and with Truvio, consumer health influencers are empowered to become change agents for the millions of patients who follow them," said WEGO Health CEO Jack Barrette. "Advances in healthcare can't wait. Truvio connects industry and influencers -- fast -- in a way that benefits both."
