TREND: The Online Community Making a Difference

  • Summary

  • When Maria Picone’s daughter was diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), she turned to the internet for answers.

    What she found was an online community of caregivers sharing their experiences with PWS, giving her comfort and direction with what to do about her daughter’s rare disease. It also spurred her and her husband to create TREND Community, an online platform for caregivers of rare diseases to not only share their experiences, but also make positive contributions to scientific literature.

    Join us as we discuss the philosophy of TREND Community, how it transforms general discussions into real-world clinical research, how collaboration drives their progress, what’s next for TREND, and what you can do to help advance their mission.
