YESTERDAY saw the official launch of a new Australian business called Thrivor which aims to improve the experience of people affected by cancer and other chronic illnesses.
Thrivor seeks to provide a practical, seamless end-to-end experience for people outside of the hospital with an app developed by Justin McLean, a global strategy partner with consulting firm PwC, after his own experience when being diagnosed with colorectal cancer in his mid-40s.
The free app allows users to manage and record appointments, organise transport to treatment, hire a cleaner or babysitter, book a home visit nurse and connect with support networks.
Current providers linked with the Thrivor app include Uber, Better Caring, Hipages, Prezzee and Sittr.
