I'm making an interactive-app on cancer
Donation protected
For sometime now, I have met and been in close contact with those whose lives have been affected by cancer, and it affected me deeply. They were my friends, my near and dear. All things I had known, heard and read as a bio-medical researcher stepped aside, and it was very emotional and a learning experience for me. I felt the need to do something directly relevant, something that brings everyone on a common platform.
Hence, this app is for those whose near and dear are affected by cancer. More of a post diagnosis decision aid based on age and type.
In each of these cases I experienced, for the first time, a blatant 'information disconnect' between the three worlds - Patients, Health care professionals and Bio-medical researchers. This was right when you needed to make relevant decisions as a patient's next or close circles.
In this age of 'Smartphones' and 'Apps' I just hunted for a ready-made app that would address the above. Somewhat of a common platform that would allow me, doctors and my close ones to speak in one platform. Just basic known facts, clinical trials etc. But there was none or close to none.
What I wish to do - I am hoping to make a simple and a relevant app that addresses the above and that provides immediate and relevant information about cancer statistics, occurrences and survival that is tied seamlessly to trials, treatment and relevant charts and medical literature etc.
My need - I need programming support to build a working prototype and I am looking to raise funds for this purpose. For this, I am looking to raise at least $10,000 towards this program. Arrangements have been made with developers and programmers. I expect the initial beta version to be ready in a few weeks.
About me - I am a biomedical researcher, with a Ph.D, and have worked on different aspects of cancer and I am well published. I have access to known public databases and other information resources. I have been working with computer professionals and app developers and have developed some very relevant research tools. However, I felt the need to do more. I have sensed a strong need to develop a common platform like an 'app' that will allow everyone, including patients, their near and dear, biomedical researchers, and health care professionals to come together on one platform and access directly relevant information information and data. For this, I need your support.
In Social Media - 'Cancerstop' is the name to go by in Facebook and Twitter. The Facebook also provides a custom search 'app' like feature (see image above) that has a specialized capability to fetch relevant biomedical information. Besides, these pages also provide recent news and information about research and efforts in the treatment and management of cancer.
Finally, I know that many of you out there would be more than happy to reach out and support such a cause. I want to take this opportunity to reach out to you and ask for your support.
Any support is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
Dr. Natarajan Ganesan, Ph.D
