Patient True Talk

Patient True Talk is a social networking and registry platform designed to connect cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers with others who share similar diagnoses and treatment experiences. Founded by melanoma survivor Dan Engel, the platform uses proprietary algorithms to match users based on specific medical parameters, including diagnosis, treatment protocols, and genetic mutations. It aims to provide a secure, HIPAA-compliant environment for peer-to-peer support, helping patients navigate complex treatment decisions and clinical trial options. The service is free for patients and has established partnerships with major advocacy groups like LUNGevity and the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS).
