It combines educational content, progress tracking, and wellness tools to help patients better understand their treatment, stay organized, and maintain a sense of calm and control. Personalized Experience Radi allows each user to choose language, font, and treatment site. The app adjusts its educational content and recommendations for breast, pelvis, or head-and-neck treatments. Patients can set personal goals and monitor progress throughout the treatment process. Treatment Organization A built-in calendar and scheduler help patients manage treatment sessions, appointments, and medication reminders.
