BRIAN is an online app which has been developed by the Brain Tumour Charity to help people cope with a brain tumour. BRIAN will help you - and those supporting you – to understand how you are doing and to make better-informed decisions.
BRIAN has been designed for all kinds of people, whether you are living with a brain tumour, caring for someone who is, or you work in healthcare or research.
BRIAN allows you to record your entire brain tumour experience in one place - you can add symptoms, treatments, side effects, appointments and much more. You can also share your data with anyone you trust – such as family, carers and your healthcare team – enabling them to better understand your situation.

BRIAN can help you keep track of treatments, appointments, medications, side effects and wellbeing. This information can be quickly and easily shared with healthcare professionals. |
You can contribute valuable historical information to BRIAN's database, by sharing details of treatments and quality of life. Questionnaires in BRIAN provide researchers with even more information.
