Agora - Mental Wellness For Cancer
Therapeutic tools to empower cancer patients
Hosted by Krish Raheja, Mei Xia, Jingyi WangThis project is now archived and was part of DDW20
Cancer patients face substantial challenges — including depression, anxiety and insomnia — that can affect their mental health and commitment to treatment. To address this need, we designed a digital product that allows oncologists to prescribe mental health care in a way that engages more patients.
Agora is built on the basis of 3 key insights :
1. Patients have difficulty communicating physical discomfort.
2. This discomfort is a source of anxiety.
3. Patients find it hard to connect with others about their feelings.
