About this app

***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.

I would have given five stars but my own personal belief is that there's always room for improvement: several months ago it would not let me on for a week or two which was frustrating. My biggest frustration is that all too often I will be surprised to see that it has given me one of the other projects to work on rather than the one that I choose. But it's easy to monitor that nightly and switch back if I need to. Overall, I like this app by probably 90%, as the concept is quite noble.

Have used for years but will sadly be uninstalling. Recently, calculations for my projects haven't been crunching every night, and every few weeks, the app will change the project I'm supporting without my concent (although it seems to crunch the calculations for that project without a problem). I tried to send an email using their link in the app, but it was sent back saying the address provided was not found. Very frustrated.

The idea is amazing and very productive, but I normally charge my phone on a regular basis, not only during the night, and cant prevent the app from working automatically. This is a bit frustrating as sometimes i need my phone to charge fast and the app running doesnt allow it. Is there any on/off switch or setting of work between this time range only? If not it would make a huge improvement.
