May 01 2024 - 1:04PM
Fight Colorectal Cancer (Fight CRC), a leading advocacy
organization dedicated to supporting colorectal cancer patients and
caregivers, is proud to announce the launch of ChatCRC, the
first-ever AI-powered chatbot designed to deliver accurate,
accessible, and user-specific information related to colorectal
cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care management.
ChatCRC aims to revolutionize colorectal cancer support by
providing personalized information, support, and guidance to
individuals with specific concerns or conditions. The chatbot
offers instant access to information about colorectal cancer risk
factors, screening options, treatment options, side effects,
wellness strategies, and more.
"We are thrilled to introduce ChatCRC as a new resource in the
fight against colorectal cancer," said Anjee Davis, President of
Fight CRC. "This innovative tool will empower patients, caregivers,
and healthcare providers with accurate, easy-to-understand
information and support, ultimately improving outcomes for those
affected by this disease."
Key features of ChatCRC include:
- Personalized Support: ChatCRC provides a highly personalized
conversational experience capable of understanding and adapting to
the user’s needs and preferences.
- Accessibility: Removes complex medical jargon from responses
and offers SMS texting for users without internet
access. Questions can be texted to 318-ChatCRC (318)
242-8272.
- 24/7 Availability: ChatCRC is available 24/7, providing instant
access to information and support whenever it is needed.
- Connection to Resources: ChatCRC connects users to a wealth of
resources, including clinical trials, support groups, and
educational materials.
- Interactivity: Allows users to ask questions and receive
immediate feedback.
ChatCRC will NOT deliver medical advice nor is it to be used as
a substitute for seeking care from a healthcare provider.
Recent user feedback confirms the effectiveness of ChatCRC, with
100% of respondents finding it "Very easy" or "Easy" to use. Nearly
100% of respondents expressed their intention to use ChatCRC again,
and 100% would recommend it to a friend.
"We believe ChatCRC will be a game-changer in the way colorectal
cancer patients receive information and support," said Danielle
Ripley-Burgess, VP of Disease Awareness and CRC survivor. "Generic
information doesn’t always answer patients’ specific questions and
concerns. This chatbot will not only provide accurate, reliable
information in an accessible format, but it will empower patients
to take control of their health and make informed decisions about
their care."
"ChatCRC worked very well, providing accurate and thorough
answers to my questions. I would use it again and recommend it to
friends," expressed Dr. Richard Goldberg, Fight CRC Board
Member.
