Hackathons for patients
For Cancer Patients with Complex Treatment Decisions
Our Mission
To help cancer patients with complex treatment problems find their best options.
The Challenge
Some frontline treatments are not curative and patients run out of options. They’re beyond the standard of care and clinical trials, and have ‘hit a wall’. Everyone is unique, which means that for many people the “standard of care” process doesn’t work. They need to search for their own unique solutions, which can feel lonely and overwhelming.
Who We are & What We Do
The patient hackathons are led by a team of four:
We host Cancer Hackathons – which are curated online communities of brilliant patients, researchers, and bioinformaticians who have come together to solve each patient’s unique problem.
- Brad Power, Head Hacker, Founder of CancerHacker Lab
- Erika Brown, Founder/Chief Builder, One Cancer Place
- Randy Broad, Founder, C-Sessions
- Bryce Olson, Health and Life Sciences Strategist, Precision Medicine Pioneer
