One shared picture of care. Medications, appointments and documents stay in sync.

The problem

Managing a serious diagnosis is a second full-time job

Cancer, chronic disease, an ageing parent: any serious diagnosis buries families in appointments, medications and information, on top of everything else life already asks of them. Nobody hands over a plan for the rest of it.

"A prescription is handed over, but not a care plan."

The hidden workload: questions someone has to carry

Doctors, specialists, hospitals, pharmacies, therapists and family each hold a different piece of the story. Patients and caregivers are the ones who connect the dots.

Who

Who is part of the care team?

What

What has happened, and what comes next?

When

What is coming up, and when?

Where

Where are the documents, results and prescriptions?

Who’s connected

Who has been told, and who still needs to know?

What matters

What should be ready for the next appointment?

Why connected care matters

When care is connected, everyone benefits

Better coordination eases pressure on patients and caregivers and helps healthcare use its time and resources well. When information follows the person, care is more continuous, less gets asked twice, and handovers between settings are safer.

Everything together

One app. Complete care. Shared by everyone.

Appointments, medication schedules, test results, care-team details and questions stay together in one place. Whether you manage care alone or with others, everyone involved can work from the same up-to-date picture.

The same medication list The same appointment plan The same questions and documents

Less chasing. Less repeating. More time for the care itself.

Why it matters

Missed pills and missed appointments cost lives

Adherence isn't a nice-to-have. The research is unambiguous about what happens when patients fall through the cracks.

"A reminder isn't a luxury. It's clinical infrastructure."

MyCareBuddy can email you about appointments and prescription refills if you turn those reminders on, and it puts today’s doses on one screen the whole Care Circle shares, with each medication showing who recorded the last dose. It does not alarm at each dose time.

The invisible second patient

You're caring for them. Who's caring for you?

Among family caregivers of cancer patients, the toll is severe, and rarely tracked by anyone.

Severe anxiety53%
Severe depression46%
Severe caregiver burden31%

Frontiers in Psychology, 2023, cancer caregiver cohort

MyCareBuddy's private caregiver check-in and shared care record are built for exactly this, because caregiving without support isn't sustainable for anyone.
One app, complete care

Everything the whole care circle needs, always in sync

MyCareBuddy unites the medical system and daily wellness in one place. Patients and caregivers see the same information, at the same time, every time.

Medical Hub

Appointments, documents, lab results and your care team in one organised place, with coordination tools for everyone in the Care Circle.

Medication Manager

Photograph a prescription or medicine to fill in the details. See the doses due today, tick them off, and correct a mistake within 12 hours. Turn on email refill reminders so you hear before you run out.

Nutrition Coach

Take a photo of a meal for everyday nutrition coaching, plus a food diary, hydration and dietary guidance to support energy and recovery.

Our flagship feature

Research Alerts

A weekly digest of new peer-reviewed research and recruiting clinical trials matched to the diagnosis, explained in plain language.

Mental Wellness

A daily mood check for the patient, a private check-in for caregivers, and a guided breathing space.

Care Circle

One patient, the people they trust, one shared care record, always up to date, with an activity log of who changed what.

Health Vault

Photograph a letter, lab result or examination report. MyCareBuddy files it and explains the medical language in plain words, so you understand what you are being told.

Emergency Card

The essentials a paramedic or new doctor needs, shared through a link that expires on its own and can be revoked at any time.

Care handover

Responsibility can change hands. If the patient can no longer manage their record, caregivers can take it over, and a patient can take their own account back when they are ready.

MyCareBuddy provides information and organisation, not medical advice. It never replaces your doctors, and AI-generated content can contain errors.

Support & wellbeing

Care is more than treatment. Support the whole Care Circle.

Serious illness changes everyday life for patients and for the people who care for them. MyCareBuddy is designed for the caregiver too, because supporting the person providing care is part of providing better care.

For the patient

  • Daily mood and symptom tracking
  • Nutrition and meal-photo coaching
  • A guided breathing space
  • Hydration guidance and practical everyday support

For the caregiver

  • One shared care space with the patient
  • Shared care tasks, coordination and handover
  • A private wellbeing check-in, separate from the shared record
  • A burnout check-in and breathing support for hard moments

Less cognitive load. More support. A more sustainable care journey.

What makes MyCareBuddy different

#1 The number one unmet non-medical need during cancer treatment is information

The information gap MyCareBuddy is built to close

Patients rank unmet information needs above financial support, transport and counselling. Most want all of it, good and bad, but can't find or filter it on their own.

Scientific Reports (Nature), 2025

Research Alerts

Personalised, AI-summarised, peer-reviewed research and clinical trials matched to a specific diagnosis, translated into plain language and delivered as a weekly digest you can actually read.

  • Curated: research and recruiting trials matched to the diagnosis, so you spend less time searching.
  • Easier to understand: plain-language explanations that make the strength of the evidence clear.
  • Better prepared: turn new findings into useful questions for your care team.
New finding, in plain language

"A recent trial found that combining standard treatment with early nutritional support reduced reported fatigue during the first 8 weeks. Researchers suggest this may be worth raising with your care team."

Illustrative example, not a real finding. Information support, not medical advice. Always discuss findings with your care team.

“My son was diagnosed with a brain tumour at two years old. Ten years of treatments, hospital stays and paperwork followed. We believed it was over, and now his cancer is back. We’re building the support we needed, so other families can face their own care journey with more clarity and less fear.”
Jennifer de Broglie, Founder, MyCareBuddy

“So I built MyCareBuddy, because I knew there had to be a better way. Sooner or later, every one of us will care for someone or need care ourselves. When that moment comes, people should be able to focus on what matters most: getting better, feeling better, and being there for the people they love.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. MyCareBuddy provides organisational and informational support only. It is not medical advice and never replaces your care team. AI-generated summaries can contain errors, so always confirm anything important with your doctor.
MyCareBuddy is planned to launch in September 2026. Join the waitlist to receive launch updates, early-access news and the MyCareBuddy newsletter.
Research Alerts matches the diagnosis in your Care Circle to recent peer-reviewed research and summarises it in plain language, so you can stay informed without wading through medical journals. It is information support, not medical advice, and every finding should be discussed with your care team.
MyCareBuddy is priced per Care Circle, not per person, so inviting someone does not change what you pay. Everyone you invite (spouse, adult children, close friends) sees the same shared, up-to-date record: medications, appointments, documents and more.
MyCareBuddy is built to GDPR standards. Your medical documents are held in private storage that is never publicly reachable, only your Care Circle can open them, and the sensitive free text the app keeps, such as plain-language summaries of your reports, is encrypted at rest. From Settings you can download a copy of your data and delete your account: a patient’s export and deletion cover their whole Care Circle record, and a caregiver’s cover their own account. EU data residency is a launch requirement; the hosting region will be confirmed before launch.
Cancer is where MyCareBuddy started, but the same model (shared medical records, medications, nutrition, research and wellbeing) works for any serious or chronic diagnosis.
