Staying healthy as you fight prostate cancer has just become a little easier. Earlier this month, Mobile Commons, Sanofi US, and the Prostate Cancer Foundation announced a new mobile health campaign for men with prostate cancer – PROST8CARE. The program connects patients with follow-up care information directly synced with their chemotherapy schedules, and was developed alongside a team of oncologists and oncology nurses.
The program has already garnered some excellent coverage. Here are some of the press mentions, news stories, and social media pings that have spread the word about PROST8CARE.
The messaging service can provide scheduled reminders of treatment and information about side effects from chemotherapy treatment. It also sends tips on food and diet as well as how to manage fatigue and minimize risks of infection.
