The App Features
Forums
Forums are the heart of Ripple. Patient to patient, carer to carer, user to user. The biggest untapped resource is those impacted by cancer. Our forums are ordered by cancer type and topic. They range from treatments to nutrition, life after cancer and wellbeing. Users can engage, share, post photos and reply to comments. The forum topics will grow organically as users engage and create content.
Monitor Wellbeing
Monitor your daily wellbeing. Whether you are a patient, survivor or caregiver you can track how you are feeling. You have the ability to tag your daily activities and keep a diary log for future reference. Your wellbeing is tracked to show changes and trends over time.
Resource Library
Our resource library is full of worthwhile information and will continually expand as articles and resources are released. If you see something that needs to be in the library, get in touch.
Key contacts NZ wide
You will be connected with other key cancer organisations and charities in New Zealand. We aim to break down barriers and connect you with who can provide support.
Private Messaging
You have the ability to private message other users. Sometimes questions are sensitive or personal and you may want to talk privately. Connection from Kaitaia to Bluff is what we want! Group messaging will also allow local groups to communicate and meet easier.
Events
Keep track of local and national events. From local half marathons to Relay for Life and cancer support events. The one-stop-shop for any cancer related events.
Stories of Resilience
Feature stories that focus on resilience, survivorship, life after cancer and much more. Power and hope to the people through connection, empowerment and inspiration. Have a story worth sharing? Get in touch HERE
