Malecare releases app to help track prostate cancer

Submitted by Matt on Tue, 2016-10-18 19:54

Malecare recently launched Cancergraph - an iPhone application that tracks cancer symptoms. It's free and ready for you to download, today.

Designed by prostate cancer survivors and caregivers, Cancergraph focuses on the unique experiences faced by those who are diagnosed with one or more cancers.

Cancergraph serves as a memory tool, giving patients and their doctors reliable reports about day-to-day cancer-related experiences. With an easy-to-navigate interface, patients can choose from a list of over 200 symptoms and side effects, and have the option to include cancer types, medications and concerns. Cancergraph then distills the data into a report that patients can view on their phone or email to doctors.    

Patients can also take disease- and symptom-related photos to be added to a secure photo storage area on their mobile device. Additionally, Cancergraph has a journal feature so patients can document their experiences in more detail.

"For anyone who is going through prostate cancer this is an invaluable tool," said Darryl Mitteldorf, Director of Malecare, "The ability to accurately keep track of symptoms and side effects changes cancer care for both the patient and doctor."

Cancergraph is free to download and is currently available on iOS.  Android will be available in November.
