June 2021.
Belong.Life, developer of social and professional networks for managing and navigating diseases, and the creator of the world’s largest social network for cancer patients, announced the expansion of the BelongMS app to include a French language option for the French-speaking Canadian community.
BelongMS is a free and anonymous AI-powered social networking platform uniting multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals to help navigate the condition and its treatment.
The app has seen much success in Canada to date, and the decision to expand its language options come after numerous requests from French-speaking citizens. Canada currently has one of the highest rates of MS in the world, with over 90,000 patients across the country. MS is an often-disabling disease of the central nervous system that can cause symptoms such as extreme fatigue, vision problems, muscle spasms, numbness and tingling, as well as gaps in memory.
“Challenging medical diagnoses can leave patients and their families feeling overwhelmed and alone,” said Belong.Life co-founder and CEO, Eliran Malki (pictured). “At Belong.Life, we aim to close that gap by connecting patients and caregivers to the resources and support networks they need, available right at their fingertips. Our effective navigation tools for patients across the healthcare continuum continue to expand, and we are proud to extend access to the French-speaking Canadian community, where this support is greatly needed. We encourage patient advocacy organizations in the field to use this resource to help their communities thrive.”
