We/Malecare are in a position to help ourselves and others

[dorke]

There are currently about 4000 members on this forum, unfortunately not all of them active.Its about the size of a large clinical trial !

Everyone of us has a story: When we where diagnosed ,at what age ,PSA,PSADT, ,Gleason,stage,treatments,supplements taken,lifestyle etc.

If instead of everyone giving this information in an anecdotal way, we could fill in some structured data, we will (with the help of a data analyst) be able to extract valuable info.I even believe it may benefit the medical institution.

Maybe Malecare are already working on something like that - would like to know if its indeed the case.

Thoughts ? Would you be willing to collaborate?

We would!

Sure

Re “active members “. Actually the overwhelming majority regularly log on and spend a lot of time reading.

For example, in May ( I haven’t crunched June yet), there were 54,453 visits accounting for 174,235 post views. Our community is very active. Most here log on one or more times per day

Sounds like a great idea!

[Hohman]

Great idea....yes

I second the motion. However we must make sure that there's no GIGO.

Good Luck and Good Health.

definetly an issue that needs to be dealt with.

If it will work in such a way that only registered malecare users can enter data, I wonder how much garbage could be generated

[Darryl Partner in reply to dorke]

@dorke Did you really mean to say that Malecare users would generate garbage?????

[dorke in reply to Darryl]

Darryl, on the contrary.My intention was to say that since it would be based on Malecare users, the chance of garbage is very low.

BTW ,garbage doesnt mean that someone deliberately enters bad data.

Is more to say erroneous data

[Darryl Partner]

I understand. It’s just that your post wasn’t clear. Would you like to discuss your suggestion by phone?

[dorke in reply to Darryl]

Let me prepare a draft and then we can discuss it.Can we do it over Skype ?

[Darryl Partner in reply to dorke]

Sure.
