Beacon
Lower your risk. Know your options.
Lung, colorectal, breast, prostate, skin and other cancers
Beacon, the program for cancer, is planned. Nothing is available to use. This area needs the most care of any on the list: the boundary between useful information and implied diagnosis is narrow, and we will not cross it.
What it would cover
What we would build here.
Scope, not an offer. None of this exists yet, and nothing on this page is a service you can use today.
Risk reduction
Information on modifiable risk, connected to the tobacco and nutrition work rather than duplicating it.
Screening awareness
What screening exists, who it is offered to, and how to raise it with a clinician. Awareness only — we do not screen.
Treatment-support resources
Practical, reviewed material for people in treatment and the people supporting them.
Survivorship
Support for the period after treatment, which is long, under-served, and rarely designed for.
Coming up
What happens next here.
Ordered by how near the work is, not by date. We do not publish dates for work that has not started.
Scope and safety boundaries
NextWriting down, before anything is built, exactly what this area will and will not do — particularly around anything that could be read as diagnosis.
Clinical partnership
LaterFinding clinical partners willing to own the content, because this is not an area to build from secondary sources.
Survivorship scope
LaterDeciding what the survivorship period actually needs, which is the part most often left out of both care and software.
