Interesting: A printed mock-up showing what the MindApp, a smartphone application being developed for brain cancer patients in the Netherlands, may look like.

AMSTERDAM: Dying of a brain tumour, Frederik van den Broek had one last wish on his “bucket list”: serving as his own guinea pig to build a smartphone app for fellow cancer patients. 

Now Dutch neurologists say the input from Van den Broek, who died late last month aged 41, has been invaluable in creating what is believed will be the world’s most advanced mobile-based app for cancer patients.
