Brainstorming Ideas

Generating my own idea

After sharing ideas in class and analyzing them, I had to choose my own idea and explore what could I do with it and what should I include. Below, you can find the explanation of my choice.

ESTABLISHING MY IDEA

Name: SCaRF Community

 Description: The app I decided to implement involves the creation of a Community for the organisation of SCaRF. The initial idea is that people who are cancer patients and friends & family of cancer patients will all share their experiences, feelings and support each other within this app. It will be a small community with forums about different topics, advice and information about Skin Cancer. In addition, this SCaRF Community will be open to people who have suspicions of having skin cancer because for example they have a mole that is growing and they would like to find information and get advice. This way, SCaRF Community will provide warmth and support to people whom experience of Skin Cancer is new and they do not know how to come up against it. What is more, is that by sharing successful stories of fighting Skin Cancer new patients will be more optimistic about their own situation. However, SCaRF Community would not be without the publication of Events and Sponsored Fundraising. The planned events will be posted, inviting all members and visitors of the app to join and invest some of their time in raising funds for a good cause. This app will both RAISE AWARENESS, but also provide links for DONATIONS.

                Content:

(a)      About Us - Info about the organization and its aims or achievements

(b)      Contact Us  - Available addresses, telephone numbers and e-mails

(e)      Donate - Why should you donate, where do the funds go and link to the donation site

(f)       Ask A Doctor – I want the community members to be able to ask anonymously a Doctor for any issues that they feel uncertain about and any question they may have in relation to Skin Cancer (This inspiration came from "Ask A Librarian" from UWE Bristol’s website)

(g)      Your Stories - Videos and Articles about people's stories to inspire and give hope to new patients

(h)      Forum - A health forum for discussion of subjects around Skin Cancer and its prevention

(i)        Events & Fundraisers – Publication and invitations for upcoming Events

(j)        Moods – Choosing between a small range of feelings: “Sad”, “Uncertain”, “Hopeful», «Positive” etc. and advice to help them feel better (This option will be given in the Homepage)
