Informing Patients and Families by Offering Custom Flash Drives

by ashley on July 29, 2010

When facing one of the most difficult situations of your life, you might look to a nonprofit organization for help. For example, a person that has just learned he or she has cancer will turn to The American Cancer Society for support. He or she can visit the local ACS office where a volunteer will spend time going over page after page of information. Most people would leave the center scared, anxious, and perhaps more overwhelmed.

When the patient leaves ACS, she will have received a brochure, pamphlet, or paper on every single program they have available. Many times, the pamphlets do not specifically pertain to that type of cancer or describes a service the patient has no use for. However, ACS wants to be sure to extend every possible service, leaving the patient with a lot of paperwork. This may be a little overwhelming.

Rather than hand out dozens of brochures to each patient (many of which will get thrown away), organizations such as The American Cancer Society could provide a nearly unlimited wealth of information on a flash drive. CFgear can preload bulk flash drives with up to 640,000 pages of information on a 32 GB flash drive.

The goal of ACS is to assist cancer victims in any possible way. They offer services such as drivers for doctor’s visits; classes on how to put on a wig; places where wigs will be donated; classes for cancer victims; classes for their family members; lodging for overnight hospital stays; and more. ACS has a number of different programs and services that can be utilized.

Brochures and pamphlets could be accessed through the flash drive, as well as links to all of their many services. Contact phone numbers and e-mail addresses could also be included. A cancer patient could simply plug their flash drive into the USB port of their computer and access information on a specific service. This would eliminate theneed to search through piles of paperwork and brochures.

Using USB drives for patients and families

Many cancer victims benefit from seeing others’ and their own progress. Perhaps there could be a link where the patient could upload their current progress and treatments. Seeing change can often be a strong, motivating factor. There could also be a calender area where patients could monitor when they have treatments.

Perhaps you did receive many brochures that didn’t pertain to you. CFgear can customize a flash drive to the individual’s needs. ACS may want to order flash drives in the colors symbolizing the fight against cancer. This would allow for easy organization when handing out the flash drives. A person with breast cancer could receive a pink flash drive filled with every piece of information possible. ACS name and logo could also be printed or laser engraved on the flash drive.

CFgear guarantees that every flash drive is correctly uploaded with all of the preloaded information. Their bulk flash drives are made of only the best materials and with quality workmanship. They also offer a no-questions-asked warranty program. If a flash drive would ever malfunction or quit working, they would replace it.

Because this time is so overwhelming for a person, organizations such as The American Cancer Society can take advantage of technology to easily display all of their available services. Each time the patient plugs in the flash drive, he or she can be uplifted and motivated by pictures or a video. The possibilities are endless for many other organizations such as the March of Dimes, Autism Speaks, National MS (multiple sclerosis), and so on. The organization could customize bulk flash drives that could spread the word of what they offer to hundreds and thousands of victims. Get in touch with CFgear today with any questions you may have.
