Invent Something We Need
What doesn't exist for those of us who have unmet needs that should exist?

It could be a website community, or something more ambitious.

One thing I would like to see is better--MUCH better--clarification of information for cancer sufferers and survivors, as well as their loved ones. I've not yet found a community that is really robust or helpful or especially active. Even the language of cancer is frightening.

Another need, IMO, is someone or some entity to distill down, for public consumption, what is actually known about health and chronic disease, from what is conjecture and mere speculation. The medical textbooks cost a fortune, yet there is so much valuable info in them. It would seem to me to be a worthwhile pursuit to transmogrify the gist of medical abstracts so that people without a medical background could read, consume and understand them.
