Production Technology

RareMe is an APP,which connects patients and their families with health-care providers, such as hospitals, medical institutions, pharmacies, doctors, drug developers, pharmaceuticals companies, etc. It also links rare disease patients with similar conditions with medical workers through intelligent recommendation algorithm, so as to make them feel not alone.

Design Challenge

RareMe connects patients and their families with health-care providers, such as hospitals, medical institutions, pharmacies, doctors, drug developers, pharmaceuticals companies, etc. The biggest problem is to contact all stakeholders, promote app through hospitals, medical institutions, and major media platforms, so that patients scattered around the world can know and join RareMe. With the help of a large number of patients gathering to solve the problem of drug research and distribution by low-cost crowdfunding.

Project Duration

This project started in September 2019 in Hangzhou, China, and it is still under developing.

Operation Flow

At the beginning of registration, user will choose their own role as patients/family members or health-care providers, then enter the home page. Patients can write disease fighting diaries, seek for other users who have similar syndromes and fight together. They can also seek drugs and treatments around the world. As for health-care providers, they can contact patients quickly via RareMe and offer help.

Research

Rare diseases are currently affecting 3.5% - 5.9% of the worldwide population. There are more than 7,000 rare diseases known in the world, however, only less than 10% of the diseases have approved treatment drugs or programs. Based on this huge social problem, we have conducted extensive interviews with medical professors of Harvard University and Medical Laboratory of Zhejiang University, and are eager to connect rare disease patients around the world in a simple and portable way. We have connected many medical workers and patients via the development of RareMe. In order to improve this current condition, we will add in more and more health-care providers in the future.

Inspiration

Rare diseases are lately affecting 3.5% - 5.9% of the worldwide population. More than 7,000 rare diseases are known, however, only less than 10% have approved treatment cures or programs. Due to the patients’ rare conditions, they’re not able to get the same degree of care and assistance as normal patients. Moreover, proper medicines and treatments are not available in some developing countries. They have few wardmates to communicate with, either.
