Worldwide Breast Cancer Map

Challenges Entered: 
** To really understand this project, watch the video! **People can navigate a map of their local area to find support groups, treatment and screening centers and events relating to breast cancer.A directory of people is also mapped out, allowing patients to connect with others in the same situation. Whether it is finding someone going through chemotherapy, or being able to talk with a survivor of the same type of breast cancer, patients can share their experiences and knowledge through sharing public bookmarks, reading blogs, using online communication tools (like skype or messenger), or meeting at the next breast cancer run.This map can also connect researchers with patients, educators with the public and charities with those involved in the cause. These information comes through three main sources: public directories, such as the published FDA approved mammography center databaseuser input, such as a treatment clinic registering their address, hours, web and contact information and breast cancer trialseducational visuals, from worldwidebreastcancer.com designed to overcome censorship, emotional, educational and geographic issues with breast cancerA key part of this project is to globalize breast cancer messages through images accessible to women/men of all educational levels.
