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.
| Recently diagnosed? | Having treatment? | Lost someone? |

BRIAN's tools, like the Benefits Checker and Clinical Trials Finder, offer information that may be difficult to find. BRIAN's insights provide information about others on the same journey. |
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.
