Dear ALS Patients and Families,
It's really wonderful to see a place like this so active with support for each other. Thank you for being here.
I'm a computer science student at Oregon State University and for my senior design project, my partners and I are building software that helps researchers at ALS Untangled determine the credibility of treatment offers based on their website design. To train our machine learning algorithm, we are looking to build a data set with treatments and ratings of their legitimacy. Please share your experiences here, and we will use them to improve our software.
It really broke my heart when I heard that scams targeted the communities of the most debilitating chronic diseases, and I had to do all I could to help. Hopefully our software will be of use, or at least provide a start for professionals to perfect.
Thanks,
Markus Woltjer
