Inspiration

Today when researchers want to ask questions about potential cancer causes and risk factors they have to work within self-generated data sets, surveys, and observational studies. To generate these studies the researchers must pursue the respondents themselves, and often can only ask a very limited number of questions.

What it does

We are leveraging the power of social media to drive people to share their historical data and demographics. In exchange we'll be giving them bragging rights, risk factor and screening alerts.

How I built it

The platform was built under Facebook app using Django as the back end infrastructure.

What's next for My Risk Factor

Implementing a full scale campaign to make the dream of freely available research data a reality.
