A very well-known problem of cancer care: 

In the fight against cancer, it's often challenging for the patient and their family to stay emotionally strong. They need to manage multiple things starting from the diagnosis to the treatment till post-treatment care and follow-ups. 

On the other hand, caregivers and clinicians need something to manage cancer care and to stay connected with the patient and clinical staff. 

A very less-known solution and its real impact: 

All these requirements can be well addressed with the emerging mobile health technologies. 

One such example of a mobile app is Resilience. The app enables users to measure, track and understand the side effects and answer their specific questions with wise advice and care strategies.

Recently, the french healthcare startup has raised $45 million in the Series A round. The funding was led by Cathay Innovation to improve the treatment journey of cancer patients after the diagnosis. 

Surely the cancer care app can’t replace doctors and oncologists but it can make the painful process easier both for the patient and caregiver. Such cancer care mobile apps only aim to empower the healthcare system to deliver better treatment.

Let's find out how some of the best cancer care apps for patients are supporting the patients in cancer diagnosis, treatment, and post-treatment care.
