Project: TechForce19 challenge. Vinehealth for cancer patients amid COVID crisis

Summary: TechForce19 has awarded Vinehealth with financing for its usefulness during the COVID-19 crisis, with the expectation that it will offer a particular service for those vulnerable and affected by the pandemic. Vinehealth is a mobile app to support cancer patients and their loved ones during treatment by allowing them to easily track and understand their care, including their symptoms, side effects, appointments and medications. By completing a 1-minute daily log, cancer patients can develop a clear overview of their progress through treatment and access advice on how to cope and when to access health services. The Vinehealth app empowers cancer patients who are self-isolating to self-manage and feel more in control.
