Roon: A New App for Navigating ALS with Help from Experts
from Endpoints Hosted by ALS TDI
When dealing with a disease like ALS, it can be hard to know where to turn for reliable information and advice. While your doctor and care team might be able to provide some answers to your questions, there are many topics that they might not be equipped to handle. There are many resources available on the internet, but it can be hard to know if you’ve found a reputable source. Roon is an app that help solve this problem. It provides answers to questions about disease, including ALS, in the form of short video clips featuring researchers, doctors, caregivers, people with the disease, and more. They provide information about topics like treatments, current research into the causes of the disease, and advice about to day-to-day life. Today, on Endpoints, we’re joined by Roon’s co-founder and CEO Vikram Bhaskaran to tell us more about the app, and how his own personal experience with ALS helped inspire it.
