Study Results
While Rare Patient Voice does not have access to the results of studies conducted by our clients, we do conduct internal studies from time-to-time and share these results back with those who participated. In a recent study across 15 conditions, patients were asked a number of thought provoking questions about their conditions. One of the questions was: If you or your loved one’s experience living with this condition were a book, what would its title be and why? Here are a few responses from our patients with Multiple Sclerosis:
- If it were a book, “Living on the Edge.” Why would I title it that? Because I think of somebody teetering on the edge of something, physically standing on an edge and it’s kind of sink or swim at that point.
- The name of the book would be “Multiple Sclerosis: This is it.” The chapter I am currently in right now is, “Enjoy Life, but Not Too Much.” I chose that chapter title because things right now for me are very well. I recently got married. We want to buy a house soon. We want to have a child. So that’s where I’m at right now.
- I would title the book, “There is Hope.” And I would title the chapter that I’m currently in as, “Be Your Own Advocate” which I think is very, very important.
- My book about my life would definitely be called, “Hot Mess Express,” which is ok because I’m always laughing and I try to smile through everything.
- If I had to write a book, I would call it, “The Long Journey” because it is a journey.
Partner Corner
Rare Patient Voice is fortunate to have many fantastic partners. In the Partner Corner, we will share a bit about our amazing partners.
Project Invent is a national nonprofit empowering high school students across the country to invent technologies for social impact. We pair community partners with teams of high school students to share their stories and partner to invent impactful solutions. Past student teams have created everything from smart wallets to help individuals with visual impairments detect bill denominations to autonomous shopping carts for wheelchair users. At the end of the year students pitch their inventions to top investors and sometimes move on to get a patent!
We’re always looking for exciting challenges for students to tackle and inspiring people for students to meet and are currently looking for partners to work with students teams this year.
