Global nonprofit organization, HealthTree Foundation, based in Lehi, Utah, announces the relaunch of its technology platform that unites patients and researchers in a global effort to cure diseases. On October 23, 2023, it will hold an event and presentation, “Using Technology and Revolutionary Approaches to Cure Blood Cancers” to demonstrate its unique model, innovative technology and expansion plans will accelerate a cure for myeloma and other diseases. The event begins at 5:30pm. 

The relaunched and redesigned 2.0 platform has been substantially upgraded to offer more features and to support multiple diseases. To date it has focused primarily on multiple myeloma and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). 42 diseases are currently supported by HealthTree 2.0.
