“The Focus Me app makes it easier to contact and communicate with other patients and even meet face to face from time to time.”

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 and medical professionals

Focus Me helps those affected to network with other sufferers and specialists in order to receive valuable support in everyday life.

Focus Me accompanies those affected through the various phases of their therapy and also after the end of therapy in everyday life. As the app supports the exchange of information between those affected as well as with medical professionals (if possible in the centre/practice), those affected can make valuable contacts, exchange information in a protected space and support each other emotionally. In this way, Focus Me wants to help those affected not to feel alone with their illness.

The Fokus Mensch patient information portal also provides more information (in German, French and Italian). It can be found at link.

Digital support for nurses 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.
