Solving Problems By Listening to Patient Voices

We are you. Led by persons living with AiArthritis diseases, our organization understands exactly what resources are needed to improve lives. For example, our program RANT! was created because often we have a lot to say but may not want to voice our opinions, perspectives, or experiences publicly. So RANT was created so you could express yourself anonymously (optional). But your RANTS also help us identify needs for resources and programs.

  • AiArthritis Voices 360 Talk Show. Over 100 episodes covering all the topics we focus on at AiArthritis, led by a dozen patient voice co-hosts from around the world. Pull up a seat at the table, it's your turn to add your comments, options, perspectives, and experiences to the conversation!
  • RANT! Created by patients who said, "We are always venting to one another in social groups. Why not have a place to 1) do it privately if we don't want others to say, just vent to people who understand and 2) capture some of the most pressing issues that are truly bothering us." Submit with your name or not. Feel better, vent away!
  • "Go With Us!" to Scientific (research) Conferences. Every year leaders from AiArthritis (people living with AiArthritis diseases) attend the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) and we bring the world of patients along with us (virtually; some committed volunteers in person). Be part of it and learn more about your disease than ever imagined! It's a truly unique and interactive experience.
  • Biosimilars Education. Biosimilars are here - what do you want to know?
  • COVID-19 Related Resources. Links to guidance and a vaccination hotline.
