Releaf App Offers Customized Cannabis Experience
The creators behind Releaf are hopeful that their new app helps medical cannabis patients easily customize their experience to best suit their individual treatment needs.
Going live this month, Releaf assists users in digitally tracking an array of data associated with their marijuana use. Monitoring data such as strain type, batch, treatment symptoms and application method (such as smoking or vaping), co-founder Branden Hall said the app was created to, “help cannabis patients more quickly figure out what works for them.”
“It’s hard to aggregate a composition notebook,” he says while adding the app is both intuitive and easy to navigate at different stages of the treatment process. “We make it fun. We make it beautiful.”
The concept for Releaf began when co-founder Franco Brockelman found himself helping his mother navigate through her medical marijuana treatment. The process, he explains, was challenging in figuring out a program that would work for his mother and her specific needs.
“[The idea was] we could help people do what Franco did for his mom,” Hall says, noting the app helps to take some of the guess and check work out of the process.
While the information provided to the app remains completely confidential, the next step for Releaf is taking the anonymized information to generate a roadmap for future users. Right now medical marijuana treatment for most conditions remains anecdotal, but the hope is to bolster the knowledge through crowd-sourced data thus providing more footing for strain recommendations.
“We really want to put data at those recommendations going forward,” Hall says.
Releaf is set to be available for iOS in June and Android in July.
