I met rareLife solutions in their early startup stage; I was hooked from the start as they described their vision for “smarter rare disease drug development and commercialization” anchored by a technology solution intended to build community called onevoice. As a small rare disease company in the clinical development stage, we understand the power of the patient and caregiver community, so we felt the rareLife philosophy had hit the nail on the head. This could be disruptive, just like our potential drug in Phase 3 trials for familial adenomatous polyposis. So we were fortunate to be their flagship program, which is called FAPvoice. It went from nothing to hundreds of patients (in a very small rare disease) in a very short time. We immediately saw a positive impact on our relationship with the FAP community, our ability to query patients and KOLs, and even an unintended positive impact on our Phase 3 trial enrollment (word gets around on the grapevine). We continue to be inspired by rareLife’s commitment and dedication to their (and our) mission ever since.
This site amplifies the best of existing resources found across the internet – that can be mutually beneficial to content sites, particularly when a community is connected.
It is important to have such a forum that provides high quality information AND interacts with patients.
It’s an absolute pleasure to work with you guys. We’re so glad we found you. Honestly, forgive me the pun, it’s rare to find people this knowledgeable, this engaged, and this good.
In each of the projects that I’ve been working, I have felt that I’ve been working with a very professional and accomplished group of people. In every exchange – be it email or in the meetings, they have been a pleasure to work with. It’s clear that they are also experienced in what they are doing and that made our work much more efficient to develop the outputs.
I’m impressed with the quantity of information and the range of topics covered. Without a platform like oneSCDvoice, it would take hours to find this kind of information on sickle cell disease and trait – and then hours more to determine which sources are reliable and trustworthy.
First of all, congratulations on an excellent manuscript. It’s so difficult to pull together disparate comments from umpteen individuals but you have done a great job. Consider this as my formal approval for publication.
Hello, I am a new member of this website which I stumbled upon by accident today when I was doing my weekly search. I think that this splendid website is a great idea and it feels amazing to be part of such a community.
Our video has been well received. You and your team are superstars ????.
It seems like it’s more of a close-knit community, which I was surprised about. The [Facebook] groups are pretty big and I can get lost in it. I don’t feel like that in …
oneFAPvoice.
I’ve never seen anything like this, and I’ve been in the industry a long time.
Very excited to be a part of this and excited about the amount of information and the ‘holistic approach’ of including all types of sources and credible information … this will be very helpful to the patients.
