Manage episode 305989070 series 3001364
In this episode, I chat with Erin Smith, who is the Senior Patient Engagement Manager at AllStripes. Erin is responsible for running the ambassador program at AllStripes. She discusses what AllStripes does and its mission, ways patients can get involved and advocate for themselves through the ambassador program which she runs, her personal story with rare disease advocacy, and so much more!
AllStripes’ mission is to unlock new treatments for people with rare disease. They are a medical data science company that empowers patients and communities to generate regulatory-ready evidence for drug research in rare disease. About 1 in 10 people have a rare disease, and half are children. As the first and only research platform dedicated to rare diseases, AllStripes makes it easy for patients to contribute to new treatment studies from home. We do the work to collect and analyze your de-identified medical records to help power faster, better drug development for your condition. The name AllStripes was inspired by the official symbol for the rare disease community, the zebra. When we come together and learn from each other’s experiences we can push for better treatments across all rare conditions.
