A community to face cancer together.
Doctors have a cancer patients’ treatment all planned out, but how can they navigate the intense emotional journey?
Many cancer patients get an overflow of messages once they reveal they have been diagnosed on regular social media platforms. It makes most feel like their whole life is now becoming their diagnosis. Instead, many will hide their diagnosis from others, even thought they are losing the opportunity to find and connect with others going through a similar journey. In order to combat the privacy issues of current social media platforms, Embrace gives patients a way to control how much of their cancer journey they share and with who.

This Figma prototype walks you through the onboarding experience and lets you walk through the features with a complete profile.
The Features
A profile that users customize by adding the topics/interests they are looking to connect with other patients through.
A groups feature that lets people with the same interests join and share tips and stories about that particular interest. Groups can be created about anything from their interest in exercise during treatment or the type of cancer they have.
Mentors, or people that are now in remission, are paired with current cancer patients that want them. These cancer patients indicate what they want from a mentor, such as someone that had the same type of cancer as them, and they get matched with the right person for them. These mentors also overlook different groups.
A journal section that users keep private. Many previous cancer patients said they wished they had documented their experience more; this provides these patients with a way to write anything they want down as well as gives them a place to look back on their experience.
