A commercial health care executive with more than three decades of experience, Stacy Chick currently serves as chief commercial officer with Inivata Inc., after joining the firm as a consultant and leading commercialization strategy for InVisionFirst®-Lung. A volunteer at Emory Winship Cancer Center and a patient advocate in glioblastoma as well as rare blood cancers, Stacy Chick also serves as a board member with OurBrainBank.
An innovative approach to fighting cancer, OurBrainBank leverages cutting-edge technology to improve treatment outcomes for glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer. The free app invites patients to track symptoms on a daily basis, ideally for a minimum of 100 days, in order to give BrainBank-approved researchers from Columbia University in New York and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston an improved understanding of the disease and the experiences of people living with it. Additionally, the aggregated data helps inform new trials and improve treatment methods.
The app involves testing neurological symptoms through balance and comparison games, as well as monitoring health data such as blood sugar, weight, and blood pressure.
