Great news for Cancer research!

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Unfortunately Cancer is serious issue of our society. I wanted to share this application with you, as something more personal. I have two friends that were diagnosed with cancer last year. Fortunately they didn’t passed out but it doesn’t change how important is the support for the research.

This new application called DreamLab, developed by Vodafone in collaboration with Garvan Insititute of Medical Research, is the perfect example of a useful application and a technologic progress.

As you probably know Cancer Research need super computers, it’s a long a slow process. What if we can all contribute to speed up the research? Directly from our home? In a very easy way? I think it is a great Idea, let me explain you.

Unfortunately only available on Android, this new application use the computing power of your phone to assist cancer research while you’re not using it. Networking is the clue for this application, to fight against breast, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic cancer.

The question is, how fast we can speed up the research? According to Garvan Insitute if they reach 100,000 users, the research data will speed up by approximately 3000 times.

All contributions are needed so I invite you to download this application and join the cause!

    It’s a great idea, but it is not the only one option. I read an article about a teenager who invented some quick test for a cancer markers. It took only a seconds to diagnose it. I just hope that this kind of inventions would go through this glass ceiling of big pharmaceutical corporations and that our health will be more important than dollars..

    I have the same doubts as Filip mentioned, will pharmaceutical corporations be happy with this development? Or will they stop it somehow in order to make $$$. If such a “at home test” would really work and be available through a simple app that would be life changing!
