application to reduce the side effects of anti-breast cancer treatments

[ad_1]

A new application aims to improve the quality of life of patients by reducing the side effects of anti-breast cancer treatments: MyCharlotte. Discovery.

While recent studies provide a distressing panorama of the quality of life of patients treated for breast cancer, due to intense and persistent side effects long after diagnosis, myCharlotte works to promote the physical and psychological reconstruction of the person, essential determinants for the reduction of suffering in the long term.

The effectiveness and benefits of the practices offered within the application are recognized and validated by medical research to reduce undesirable effects during treatments and those that last well beyond.

 

Empowering patients to increase the benefits of activities

The more regularly and frequently the proposed activities, the more effective they are. Whereas until now patients had to go to the hospital or to associations to do these activities (at best once a week), digital technology makes patients autonomous in their practice.

MyCharlotte offers an alternative to the many patients who do not wish to return to the hospital for supportive care and to those, even more numerous, who are too far away to allow themselves to make the commute to the hospital every week. In addition, the application compensates for the total absence of supportive care accessible in certain regions and therefore provides a concrete response to a strong demand for support on quality of life.

An algorithm that customizes the program

Patients rarely know which activities are best suited to their condition. myCharlotte has developed an algorithm that offers practices to its users based on their profile and the side effects they experience daily. The program, designed from a library rich with more than a hundred records (adapted physical activity and mind-body practices – yoga, meditation, relaxation, self-hypnosis), guides users step by step, in order to '' establish an effective routine for the specific case of breast cancer. The registrations are validated by the scientific committee of myCharlotte composed of medical oncologists.

An app closest to the concerns of patients

myCharlotte is developed by a patient, twice diagnosed with breast cancer and by her husband, so she is committed to meeting the needs of users. She thus offers mini-series targeting the most frequent side effects with not only videos of doctors specializing in these themes, but especially recordings of activities particularly effective in relieving them. myCharlotte does not just give validated information, it gives practical keys to improve the quality of life of its users.

The application is offered via a subscription of € 10 / month.
