Breast Cancer Geospatial Application:
GE© Healthymagination Challenge
Each year about 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 women will die. In most cancers, including Breast Cancer, the early detection is undoubtedly the single most important survival prognosis factor. The key barrier(s) of early detection can be hypothesized to be either lack of awareness, or lack of adequate medical access. VSolvit has identified a simple and effective potential solution that leverages existing technology and available data. We intend to identify the geographic areas or “Cancer Hot Spots” that have a disproportionately higher rate of late stage cancer (e.g. breast). We firmly believe that focused educational and/or screening programs efforts targeted on these cancer hot spots will facilitate earlier detection of breast cancer – and thereby directly drive improved outcome.
If you agree or buy in to our approach, please support the VSolvit's submission into GE’s healthymagination Challenge.
