The Challenge
The foundation wanted a reliable digital platform to support families living with childhood cancer. What was missing was a single place where parents could access relevant information, tools for support, and a better overview of what can often feel like an overwhelming treatment journey.
Our Approach
We designed and built a React Native app with secure MitID login and personalized onboarding, allowing parents and relatives to safely share the child’s information. The app includes a custom-built diary, shared reminders, and a digital version of SuperSnøren. Content like articles, resources, events, and offers is managed through an Umbraco backend, making it easy for the foundation to update the app independently.
The solution
Overcoming challenges
Managing content across platforms was technically complex: the backend needed to support shared content that would display differently in the app, on the website, or on both. We built a flexible setup in Umbraco to handle these variations with precision. Another challenge was feature prioritization. To make sure we focused on what mattered most, we worked iteratively with user feedback, testing ideas early and often. Through close collaboration, quick feedback loops, and open prioritization with the foundation, we kept our focus firmly on solutions that would have real impact for families.
Results
The app is now close to launch, designed as a comprehensive source of support for families navigating life with a child affected by cancer. A safe, central hub for the family, offering access to essential knowledge, a personal journal, health monitoring, and a way to stay connected with those closest to the child.
