Two Free Apps Help Manage Cancer Symptoms and Coordinate Care
Self-Care During Cancer Treatment
Self-Care During Cancer Treatment is an app provided by Empowerment and Action for Cancer Care, an alliance between WellPoint and Genentech. This app provides strategies for managing symptoms of cancer treatment. The app's content is derived from the Michigan State University Symptom Management Guide and Automated Telephone Symptom Management intervention tool.
My Care Plan
My Care Plan is an app version of the Journey ForwardŽ program developed through a collaboration including the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship, UCLA Cancer Survivorship Center, the Oncology Nursing Society, WellPoint and Genentech. This app provides survivors with a tool to build a survivorship care plan they can share with their providers. The app helps survivors know what to expect or look for when active treatment has ended, including the late- and long-term effects or symptoms and side effects of cancer treatment, and it provides a wellness plan to help survivors remain healthy.
Available in the Apple App or GooglePlay Store
