The FA App is research focused!
 
We can all contribute to research that will bring us closer to a cure, no matter where we live. 

How? The FA App has a “Research" section which has information on clinical trials and research studies that are active and enrolling. You will be able to submit your expression of interest in any of the studies directly from The FA App. In addition, The FA App has a Virtual Trial section - which will allow researchers to launch new research surveys and studies and App users can participate in these exciting new research projects from home. The more of us that have the App downloaded and ready to reply to those virtual trials, the better and faster the research can be conducted.
So please: 

  • Download the app, create an account, and keep the App on your phone/tablet 
  • Make sure notifications are turned on, so you know when new research is starting 
 
There is an ability to give any feedback and suggestions to the community members who built the App from within the App, by clicking on Settings - Send Feedback. Stay tuned for useful additions to the App with each upcoming release.
