Crowdfunding is
certainly a trendy, hot topic right now. However, more important, it should never be forgotten that the wisdom of the
crowd can do great things. For example, thanks to introductions and
partnerships through crowdfunding platform MedStartr, I am now able to relaunch
my EndoGoddess Diabetes App Clinical Trial fundraiser for $5,000 rather than $25,000. The
incredible price drop is due to a partnership with the social clinical research
platform, Genomera.
Genomera is a
Silicon-Valley startup founded by Internet and health veterans, who have
created a platform that brings the crowd to research. Users, or potential
research participants, log in and find ongoing studies that they would like to
participate in. By filling out surveys and self-reported health data at various
intervals with small gift certificate incentives, recruitment and data collection can
transpire without the need for hiring nurse coordinators. Furthermore, the
platform allows for a wider geographical sampling of app users and a richer, more 'real-life' data set.
Please consider
supporting the EndoGoddess App crowdfunding clinical trial if this is a trend
that you would like to see as one option to reduce rising healthcare costs and to improve healthcare quality by the efficient study of mobile health options like the EndoGoddess App:
