Patient Powered Lyme Innovation - Let Your Voice Be Heard

Dear friends, 
Im excited to introduce a Patient-Powered Lyme disease Initiative and encourage your participation:
The Dean Center for Tick Borne Illness at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Charlestown MA recently helped lead a Lyme Innovation Hackathon” at MIT and UC Berkeley to problem-solve key issues facing Lyme disease.*
One project that won the support of the judges was the idea to create a patient-powered crowd source platform to give patients a stronger voice in Lyme disease.
This Patient-Powered Lyme Initiative” is a patient voice/big data/open data project that will help drive priorities and solutions for those suffering with Lyme disease and tick borne illness.
