Download the Myeloma Manager™ Personal Care Assistant™
Welcome to the Myeloma Manager™ Personal Care Assistant™. We are pleased to be able to introduce this software, designed specifically for patients and caregivers battling multiple myeloma. We hope that you will find it useful. As this software is very new and is really the first product of its kind, we very much look forward to your feedback and suggestions. You can help us identify problems that we need to fix as well as understanding what we can do to make the software more valuable for myeloma patients and caregivers.
The Myeloma Manager™ was developed by the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) to help patients and caregivers deal with the growing glut of information and constantly increasing complexity of myeloma treatment programs. The Myeloma Manager™ is a program that runs on the user's computer and stores all personal data on the user's computer. None of the user's data is transmitted to anyone. Access to the Myeloma Manager™ is password protected and the data is encrypted (scrambled) so that it cannot be accessed from outside of the Myeloma Manager™.
At its core, the Myeloma Manager™ provides a tool to capture laboratory results and display and print tables and charts to show how those results change over time. The software also includes real-time news feeds from the IMF web site and a reference shelf, with links to useful publications and web pages.
Currently under development and slated for a future release are calendar, contacts and notes features. These will allow users to put their doctor's appointments and treatment regimens on a calendar. Contacts will allow for storage of important phone numbers and addresses. Notes will allow for creation of a journal of past events as well as making notes about things that need to be done in the future. Integrated scanning functions will allow for scanning of medical reports directly into the tool and be attached to an appointment, contact or note. Users will also be able to attach other documents (PDFs, spreadsheets, etc.) to appointments, contacts or notes.
Slated for future development is a process to manage medical bills and insurance claims/reimbursements. But, this process has yet to be designed and we are now totally focused on bringing the functions we've designed to fruition and then making the tool available to the public. Once we've gotten the software deployed and proven, we can then expand the scope of the software and build new features and functions.
As one of our early users, you will play an important role in helping us refine and enhance this software so that it can be most useful to patients and caregivers.
At this time, the Myeloma Manager™ is available for Windows computers running XP or Vista. It is not yet available for Macintosh, although this is planned for the future.
We thank you for your help and hope you enjoy being a part of this exciting project!
