Crowdsourcing is a good and efficient source model to obtain goods and services for individuals or organisation. This is very much advantageous over other methods as it helps to learn beyond the base of minds of the people. This model is widely used in various research fields like astronomy, ornithology, seismology, medicine etc., in the present medical world, crowd of patients with variety of illnesses are suffering to get data, past history, consultation, treatment, suggestions etc., and make research difficult in this area. To make this task easier and various methods are used in crowd sourcing technology and this paper deals with the application, methodologies adopted, advantages and disadvantages of the crowd sourcing method in the field of medical research.
