PITCHES

Do you have an idea for an innovation to address a challenge in the domain of rural cancer care?

Pitch: A brochure tailored for individual cancer patients, to inform them of resources for which they are eligible. Also, a video messaging device that patients could use to contact their providers.

Pitch: A smart collar that therapy dogs wear. Patients can press the button on the collar to immediately contact a doctor or other services.

 

Pitch: A support group for patients to write songs and poems to express their feelings about cancer, treatments, or anything that they have going on.

Pitch: An “All things cancer” website where everything comes together for people who have cancer, from wigs and wheelchairs to counseling. Also, portable video conferencing to interact directly with a provider.

Pitch: A transportation program utilizing community volunteers and church vans.

Pitch: A satellite clinic to reduce the distance patients must travel to access treatment and resource navigation.

Pitch: A device and application that allows patients to text message their providers with questions.

Pitch: A way to loop together communication between the patient, a patient navigator, the primary care provider, and the specialty care team, possibly through a device or app that matches patient needs/questions with the right person to talk to.

Pitch: On-site childcare at cancer treatment facilities.

Pitch: A community-centered ride sharing app that pairs patients needing transportation with volunteers willing to drive them and compensates volunteers through local cancer funds.

Pitch: A person who can help patients understand what resources are available to them and helps them connect with those resources.
