Companion for

HC Professionals

Helping to deliver better clinical decision-making and patient care.

When living with cancer, knowing what impact the disease is having on your life is essential if you are to receive the best care possible.

Your Health Companion works like a private diary. It enables you to keep an accurate record in one place, across time - so you are able to monitor changes in your health and wellbeing; empowered to be more in control of your care and, together with health care professionals, better manage your illness and symptoms.

At the same time, by collecting valuable Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) the app helps put 'patient voice' data central in helping to inform the way cancer care, drugs and treatments are evaluated and improved to help drive up standards and improve treatment. 

Designed to be simple & easy to use.

  • Simple ‘To Do’ lists and reminders.

  • 10-15 mins per month to complete.

  • Reliable data that shows how the disease is impacting your life.

  • Better decision-making and co-ownership of care.

  • Patient ‘voice’ data collected nationally informs research to improve cancer services and medicines.

  • Support team are on-hand to help you.

  • Confidential and secure in-line with Public Health England, NHS Digital and cyber security guidelines.

Working Together

Your Health Companion has been developed in partnership with healthcare professionals, patients and advocacy partners and is being rolled out across the NHS nationally.

“This proactive approach helps clinicians spot deviations in patient health and wellbeing, so any changes are flagged, early interventions made and prompts important conversations.”

“It (the Health Companion) went down extremely well with our audience. Such a simple idea, and such a valuable tool to be used by both patients and hospitals to improve patient care.”

Steve Squibb, Operations Manager,

HASAG - asbestos disease support

“I wish my husband had access to the app, I know it would have changed the conversation we had with the healthcare team to allow his voice to be heard.”

Bonnie Thompson

Wife of Mesothelioma patient

“Our nurses have been looking for something that gives them real insight into the impact of the disease on the patient. This information is vital, as it will help nurses provide targeted support and assistance"

Liz Darlison MBE EN RN BSc MSc

Head of Services Mesothelioma UK

“I think some people tend to get frightened about giving out information about their illness and how they feel day to day, when in actual fact, it would help them and the medical team treating them have more knowledge and a clearer picture about their treatment, medicine and well-being on a regular basis and cut out repeated questions."
