Chemolog
In 2018, as a new dad, I battled a blood cancer. I PM'd my own treatment and wrote about it. That experience changed everything.
Why opencancer.ai?
After my diagnosis, I spent hundreds of hours translating medical jargon, researching treatments, and figuring out the right questions to ask.
Most patients don't have that time. opencancer.ai is the toolkit I wish I had. It translates your records to plain English, finds clinical trials you'd miss, and helps you ask the questions that matter. All free. Open access for every patient.
Why "open"? Patients deserve access to personalized tools and trusted services that too often get missed in healthcare.
