App summary

Temporarily, DreamLab is being used to support research to combat the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Imagine if we could speed up time in the fight against cancer.

DreamLab is a multi-award winning app that uses the collective power of smartphones to fast track cancer research. With cancer being one of the biggest causes of premature death worldwide, finding answers through medical research is incredibly important. DreamLab exists to help us get there sooner. And the more people who use the app, the faster it works.

HOW IT WORKS

Researchers need supercomputers to scan DNA in immense detail and crunch complex data. When you plug your phone in and power DreamLab, it downloads tiny parts of a huge research project from the cloud to calculate, and sends the results back to the research team. The more people who power DreamLab, the faster we can complete critical research. All you need to do is set up DreamLab once and it will get to work each time you plug your phone in.

We’ve all been touched by cancer. Our best chance of beating it is by working together. And while sleep has always been good for you – with the DreamLab app, it can be good for others too.

Simply download the app (#) and choose which Project you’d like to support. You can also track the Contribution you’ve made and keep up to date with News.

Dreamlab supports cancer research globally, and is powered by the Vodafone Foundation.

* A compatible handset is required. Downloading DreamLab will consume data. Once downloaded, DreamLab can be used when your device (i) is connected to a charging source and (ii) has mobile network or WiFi connectivity. Mobile data to use DreamLab is free for Vodafone customers on their local Vodafone network. Roaming incurs international rates.

# By downloading, installing or otherwise using the DreamLab application on your Device, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions found at vodafone.com.au/dreamlab. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you should not download, install or otherwise use DreamLab Application.

Concept Is Great But - Doesn't automatically start when I pop the device on charge (settings are unrestricted). Also, why can't users choose to allow DreamLab to run 24/7 regardless of whether on charge? Users best placed to decide this.. Surely we would achieve more, and faster?

I loved the app I have taken part in projects like these for years. A few things need worked on. It does randomly change your research project you have selected. Then starting this morning it will not run the new tropical cyclone modeling phase 4. It says it needs an update but the app and the phone does not show any update needed. Please fix this problem and I will change the review. Thank you!

This app needs to give more informational updates. The research I've been supporting for over a year never changes percentage-wise. Am I the only one supporting it? Let us know how many people on average are doing calcs for each project. Also, be more interactive--there's no place for users' feedback. And update the "news" occasionally.
