Cancer patients and their caregivers experience many breakdowns in our healthcare system: they are overwhelmed as they confront their mortality and struggle to access and navigate complex, constantly changing treatment options across an uncoordinated healthcare system. CancerHacker Learning Lab accelerates patient-led solutions to these cancer care problems by organizing conversations with carefully selected advisors on their most urgent issues. Brad Power, a process innovation consultant and lymphoma survivor, along with Erika Hanson Brown, a community organizer and colorectal cancer survivor, share how they created and co-founded CancerHacker Learning Lab with Hive Networks, a provider of health learning network services.

He is co-founder and head hacker at CancerHacker Learning Lab, an accelerator for patient-led solutions to cancer care problems; founder of Reengineering Cancer Treatment; and founding member and chairman of MyCancerDB. Erika Hanson Brown is the “Founding Mayor” of COLONTOWN, an online community dedicated to improving the lives of people with colorectal cancer.
