VoiceAtlas: A Patient-driven Data Platform

Patient voices, driving medicine forward

VoiceAtlas integrates insights from patient experiences with clinical and genomic data to turn patient voices into scientific evidence.

OUR MISSION

We leave no one who seeks help behind

Even as medicine advances, missing information can keep people from receiving a diagnosis, treatment, or compensation.

We treat patients as research partners, not just subjects. Their voices bring the public, researchers, and companies together to shape better research and care.

THE ISSUE

The challenge we focus onLack of medical information

A persistent lack of medical information underlies both the inability to assess causality in adverse drug reactions and vaccine side effects, and the long years often required to diagnose intractable and rare diseases.

ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS

Medicines and vaccines

6,983 reports

As of December FY2024, 6,983 suspected adverse reactions with fatal outcomes had been reported. In 74% of cases, causality could not be assessed, partly due to insufficient information.

RARE & INTRACTABLE DISEASES

People receiving medical expense assistance

Approx. 1.04 million

At the end of FY2022, approximately 1.04 million people were receiving assistance for designated intractable diseases. Better data infrastructure is needed to connect care with research.
