World Ovarian Cancer Day 💙 Ovarian cancer isn’t always obvious — symptoms like bloating, pelvic pain, or feeling full quickly are easy to overlook. CLOCS-1 showed that daily habits can begin to change well before diagnosis. Early signs matter. Noticing them could save lives. #CLOCS2#DataForGood

CLOCS (Cancer Loyalty Card Study) @clocs-team.bsky.social · 05/05/2026
May is Bladder Cancer Awareness Month 💙 Blood in urine or urinary changes can be early signs of bladder cancer. When detected early, survival is ~80%, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis. That’s why early detection matters and is the key focus of CLOCS-2! #CLOCS2#DataForGood

Oesophageal cancer affects ~9,400 people in the UK each year. It’s less common, but early signs can be easy to miss. Swallowing changes, persistent reflux, unexplained weight loss — noticing small shifts early can make a real difference. 💙 This April, help us raise awareness #CLOCS2 #DataForGood

CLOCS (Cancer Loyalty Card Study) @clocs-team.bsky.social · 09/04/2026
This Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, we’re shining a light on hope. With 46,600 people affected each year in the UK, noticing early signs (changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, tummy pain, fatigue or weight loss) can lead to earlier help and better outcomes. 💙 #CLOCS2 #DataForGood #EarlyDetection

Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 💙 Early signs are easy to overlook: bloating, indigestion, fatigue, back pain, feeling full quickly, or a sense that something isn’t right. Our work shows people often self‑manage for months. Awareness leads to earlier diagnosis. #CLOCS2 #DataForGood #CancerAwareness

CLOCS (Cancer Loyalty Card Study) @clocs-team.bsky.social · 02/02/2026
CLOCS‑2 is officially live! We’re kicking off a huge new study to see if your everyday shopping habits might help spot early signs of cancer. Wild idea? Yep. Important? Absolutely. Huge thanks to our collaborators, patient advocates, Tesco and Boots 💙 Read here: www.dailymail.co.uk/health/artic...

Changes in shopping habits could be used to diagnose disease earlier
Increased purchasing of particular over-the-counter drugs and subtle shifts in dietary preferences are thought to precede a medical diagnosis by months.

CLOCS (Cancer Loyalty Card Study) @clocs-team.bsky.social · 24/11/2025
Now we’re taking it further. CLOCS-2 asks: "Can shopping habits help detect cancer earlier?" We’re expanding to 10 cancers and working with Tesco & Boots to develop predictive models that could save lives. 👉 Follow us for updates #CancerResearch #EarlyDetection #DataForGood #CLOCS2

CLOCS (Cancer Loyalty Card Study) @clocs-team.bsky.social · 24/11/2025
In our first study, we asked: "Could loyalty card data reveal early signs of cancer?" The answer was promising. We showed women with ovarian cancer bought indigestion remedies months before diagnosis. This insight opened a new window for earlier intervention. 👉 Learn more about CLOCS-1 below:
