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.

# By downloading, installing or otherwise using the DreamLab application on your Device, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions found at vodafone.com.au/dreamlab. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you should not download, install or otherwise use DreamLab Application.

I hadn't used for a while as the previous version didn't start when phone was charging. Dreamlab contributes to good cause, but my Samsung S10+ phone still becomes too hot even with the 29 Sept 2021 update so this hasn't been fixed, and Dreamlab frequently has messages pausing calculations due to over heating. Better to be able to throttle CPU so that calculation processing can be done consistently using less CPU and without the heat issues.

Brilliant concept (5 stars) Easy to navigate UI (4.5 stars) App randomly keeps on changing the project that my power and processor is being used for, and reverting to the Corona initiative (lose 3 stars). This happens across the 4 devices I run this on. Please fix this. If the app will not consistently process only the projects I select, then the app is stealing my processing time. Update. 27th July 2024. The app is still randomly selecting its own projects. Please fix this.

I have always given this 5* until recently, but it's ceased functioning properly on this phone (Android 9) - it changes my project if it starts up at all, and refuses to work on my tablet (Android 13). There is sufficient memory on the phone and tons of it on the new tablet. Please fix it!
