Thanks for checking out Health Rising’s Big Map project. The Big Map project makes it easier for people with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia (FM), postural orthostatic tachycardia and long COVID to:
- communicate and get support,
- find doctors, attorneys, and resources,
- participate in research studies and clinical trials
- make clear the impact of having these diseases.
Open for Participation
- The Lives Interrupted project seeks to illuminate in dramatic fashion the economic and other costs of having illnesses like these. It estimates these costs by contrasting a person’s income before becoming ill with a conservative estimate of their income if they had stayed well and by charting changes to their lives they’ve had to make, and by telling their story.
Coming Soon
- The Community section of the Big Map project aims to enhance communication and collaboration in local communities. It will provide opportunities for person-to-person communication, dating, participating in local events, and getting support from your local community.
- The Doctor and Resource section aims to assist people with these illnesses to find helpful health practitioners, attorneys, and other professionals, and find clinical trials and research studies.
