Description of DreamLab - Powering Research

***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.

  Great idea (and execution), to the spare processing power of your smartphone for the greater good. So far I have not noticed any negative impact on battery life for performance in general.

  Works well and happy to support the work that this is doing. you just plug your phone (or chromebook if app running in there) in, fire up the app and leave it on the side. It does not affect alarms or alerts etc , etc .

  As others are stating, after a week's worth of use the app just doesn't compute any further, ran for over 8 hours with 0 calculations, which pretty much defies the whole point in the app?! Besides that, the app works fine and looks pretty slick.

  So glad I found this! Feels great to contribute my otherwise wasted processing power to projects that may help make the world a better place. Have some suggestions but no complaints: 1. It feels like the app stops doing work immediately when charging status changes. I'd like it to at least finish the calculation it was on at the time up to a budget of 2% of battery or something. 2. Option to allow greater performance usage in order to do more work if possible! Thanks!

  Happy my phone can be put to such good use, all whilst having no negative influence its functioning.
