Born out of Emory University and Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA), the HomeTown Manager App is built to help you stay on track of the proactive and targeted surveillance needed. The app supports 6 predispositions:
1. Hereditary Pheochromocytoma Paraganglioma Syndrome (HPPS)
2. Familial Adenomatous Polypopsis (FAP)
3. Li Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS)
4. DICER1
5. Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome (VHL)
6. Lynch Syndrome

Our focus is to help the caretaker of the family with management of these predispositions. To create this app we interviewed families with 1 to 4 family members with the predisposition. We learned that making sure everybody sticks to the protocol can be challenging: different kids protocols, many appointments, keeping track of results, and a lot of stress. HomeTowns intention is to centralize that on an app to make your life a bit easier.
