A verified information layer that labels and links cancer content across platforms
Wherever cancer information appears online, a visible marker shows whether it matches what trusted sources say, with a one-click link to the plain-language evidence.
Platforms label some health content but coverage is thin and inconsistent. The proposal is an open, machine-readable registry of vetted cancer claims and sources (national cancer institute, cancer charities, guideline bodies) that platforms, browsers and AI assistants can query, delivered as a browser extension and platform API, with labels that link to plain-language summaries and disclose the sourcing. Independent governance keeps it credible.
- Misinformation and unproven therapies · Patients are sold unproven treatments and frightened away from proven ones.
- Knowledge reaches practice too slowly · Knowledge diffusion is slow: it takes years for a proven result to change what most patients receive, and no one can keep up with the literature.
