HealthTree was developed by the Myeloma Crowd, a non-profit foundation. Multiple myeloma patients and caregivers designed the tool with the help of over 50 myeloma experts including Dr. Rafael Fonseca of the Mayo Clinic. Studies show that myeloma patients who see a myeloma specialist live longer than patients who don’t. This is because myeloma experts better know how to combine the right treatment for the right patient at the right time. HealthTree uses this deep experience from myeloma specialists to provide suggestions that you can discuss with your doctor.
HealthTree was also created to accelerate a cure for multiple myeloma. By combining our anonymous myeloma stories, we can help myeloma researchers see patterns in care. Which treatments are the best for each patient and in what order and combination? Are some patients already cured and why? This is what we hope to learn in HealthTree in order to cure myeloma faster.
The security of your information is very important to us. Your personal information such as your name, birthdate, email address or phone number is kept secure and encrypted and is never sold. You own your data and can remove your HealthTree account at any time. By using HealthTree, you agree to share information (some of which comes from Apple Health) such as prior therapies, lab values, side effects, etc. in order to benefit research. It is only by sharing our collective patient stories and experiences that we can come to better conclusions and faster cures for myeloma.
