CARERS COUCH

It can be quite challenging to look after someone suffering from Cancer. This is why Carers Couch wanted to extend a helping hand to those seeking one. The challenge was to bring a community of cancer carers and experts together and to allow people to bring their support group in one place and consolidate all communication around the patient's progress.

Carers Couch app was developed to help the carers to care for themselves first. This app offers the carers to build a circle with their support crew and also allows them to connect with other fellow carers in the community and seek professional help within. It also helps monitor and track their patient's progress and further share the information with their support crew.

One consolidated app to help Cancer Carers to look after themselves better, as they have to "Stay well to care well”. One can set appointment reminders, create schedules, log medical information, share messages with the group and a lot more.

Currently, the app is under pilot testing for a big Cancer Hospital in Melbourne.
