Trusera was a Seattle-based social networking startup founded in 2007 by Keith Schorsch, a former Amazon executive.[4] Schorsch's struggle with Lyme disease in 2004 inspired him to create Trusera,[5] a place where users can access information from people who have had similar medical experiences.[6] In October 2008, Trusera began releasing documentary-style videos of individuals with notable health experience, including Bill Krueger, former professional baseball player and father of a child diagnosed with autism.

Trusera was a part of the Health 2.0 movement, which drew millions of users to the web for health related information.

Trusera closed on May 27, 2009, citing funding difficulties on their blog.
