OWise - Prostate Cancer Support

About OWise - Prostate Cancer Support

OWise is the multi-award-winning health app that helps you to regain control of your life from the first day of a cancer diagnosis. OWise gives you personalised, safe, reliable and credible information as well as practical support and guidance, in one easy-to-view place.

Following the success of OWise breast cancer, which has been used by thousands of breast cancer patients, OWise prostate cancer has been developed this year to give personalised support to those with prostate cancer.

OWise is designed by medical professionals and has demonstrated it can improve the communication with your care team. Using the OWise app you can easily keep track of more than 30 different side effects related to treatments such as radiotherapy, surgery, hormone therapy or chemotherapy, replacing the need for paper diaries. Moreover, through tracking, reviewing and sharing how you feel day-to-day, your doctor can make timely and informed decisions to help you.

PERSONALISED INSIGHTS
● Access a personalised report based on your prostate cancer diagnosis.
● Use the decision aid tool to assist you in choosing the right treatment option or pathway for you.

● Generate a personalised list of suggested questions to ask your doctor.

EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE

IMPROVED COMMUNICATION

● Understand your cancer diagnosis better with the impartial, credible and evidence-based content of the app, and have more informed conversations with your doctor.

WHO WE ARE
Created by medical professionals in the Netherlands, OWise was brought over to the UK in 2016 through the NHS Innovation Accelerator programme. The OWise breast cancer app is CE-marked, it is accredited by NHS Digital and is listed in the NHS Apps Library. Following on from the success of OWise breast cancer, the beta version of the OWise prostate cancer app has been developed this year as a personalised tool for those with prostate cancer.

OWise has been developed by Px HealthCare Ltd., an R&D organisation focused on improving the treatment and the clinical outcomes of cancer. By using OWise you support medical research aimed at helping other cancer patients in the future.
