Our mission
Roche has partnered with people living with breast cancer, healthcare specialists and patient organisations to create the Focus Me app. The aim of the app is to provide personalised digital support as you deal with your disease on a day-to-day basis.
Janine, breast cancer patient
“I hope we’ll be able to reach as many people as possible with the app and that everyone finds something that helps – something to give them courage or strength, make things easier or point to new paths and opportunities.”
Annette, breast cancer patient
“As a nurse, I hope I’ll be able to help patients more effectively by recognising and responding to their problems faster. The app allows people living with cancer to talk to each other under the supervision of healthcare specialists, who can then intervene if necessary.”
Beatrice, oncology nurse
“This app offers new ways for patients to network with each other and share information. I think it’s an outstanding tool for getting patients involved in the digital process.”
Dr Nik Hauser, gynaecologist

Added value for patients with breast cancer or gynecological tumors and healthcare professionals
Focus Me helps patients connect with others with breast cancer or gynecologic tumors and professionals for valuable everyday support.
Focus Me guides breast cancer or gynaecological tumors patients through the various stages of their treatment and continues to support them in their post-treatment everyday life. Since the app supports communication between patients and between patients and their care team (at the oncology centre/doctor’s surgery, as available), patients can make valuable contacts, communicate online and give each other emotional support. By doing so, Focus Me should help to prevent patients feeling alone with their disease.
Digital support for healthcare professionals and patient organisations
Hospitals and patient organisations have the option of displaying their patient education events in Focus Me’s events calendar as a way of inviting and notifying patients. Healthcare professionals can use the chat function to communicate with patients if they are able to use it at their centre or surgery.
Data security
Focus Me is a secure, protected digital environment that complies with European and Swiss security standards. Patient data is subject to stringent security standards. Roche will never have access to or be able to view patients’ personal or medical data.
