The “My CareCrew” app also has a symptom and mood tracker feature, as well as a journal feature, enabling users to monitor their health and mental wellbeing while giving loved ones instant updates on how they are feeling and coping day-to-day.
According to a paper published by the American Cancer Society journal, it is estimated there will be 1.9 million new diagnoses of cancer and over 600,000 related deaths in 2022. It is the second most common cause of death in the US after heart disease. The effects of the disease spread far beyond the debilitating physical symptoms, placing a burden of care on families and healthcare providers in an underfunded system.
“My CareCrew” users benefit from a Request Help feature, allowing them to reach out to their support network for assistance with everything from childcare to meals. CareCrew members also receive reminders of upcoming requests they have accepted to help with.
Other features of the app include a wishlist, which allows users to receive an alert when family or friends want to send a gift. And allows users to create a list of products, experiences and services they need, want or simply wish for.
Users can add products to their wishlist directly from the “My CareCrew” online store, which curates products based on recommendations by patients and caregivers. Users can search for items and services relating to cancer treatment side-effect remedies, post-surgery recovery, mindfulness, gifts and much more.
Patients with large circles of family and friends can often be inundated with offers of help and support. The app allows users to choose what offers they wish to accept and when with its Accept Help feature. Other functions include a streamlined in-app chat platform for instant messaging and a journaling function that lets users capture and share their journey with their loved ones.
About “My CareCrew”
The app can be downloaded without charge from both the App Store and Google Play Store. All user and CareCrew profiles are kept private, and users are always in complete control over who they invite to be part of their CareCrew.
A spokesperson says, “We hope that this app helps make your cancer journey a little easier. For patients by patients!”
