We are addressing the challenges faced by people with ALS to improve the quality of their lives and raising awareness about this disease so that we can improve the support system for this condition.
Our goal(s) for this project is to create a solution(s) to help reduce friction in ALS patients and their caregivers' daily lives, such as requisition of devices & services and/or joining support group(s).
