Patient Prep Prompt
A mobile app designed to support cancer patients through pelvic radiotherapy treatment
Preparing for radiotherapy treatment requires precise timing — and that becomes harder as treatment progresses and fatigue sets in. Patient Prep Prompt takes away the mental load, guiding patients through their preparation with countdown timers, in-app alerts and real-time notifications.
See it in action
The challenge patients face
Pelvic radiotherapy requires patients to arrive with a comfortably full bladder and an empty bowel — a preparation routine that must be timed precisely before each session.
Over a course of 20–37 daily treatment sessions, fatigue accumulates and cognitive load increases. Patients report that working out preparation timings — especially when machine delays shift appointment times — becomes increasingly difficult to manage.
Patient Prep Prompt was created in direct response to this challenge, born from real clinical insight and patient feedback.
How it helps
Simple, reliable guidance at every step of the preparation process.
Countdown Timer
Precise timing guidance for treatment preparation, updated in real time so patients always know exactly where they are in their routine.
In-App Alerts
Clear, timely reminders so patients never miss a preparation step, even on the most exhausting treatment days.
Real-Time Notifications
Push notifications that work even when the app is in the background, giving patients the freedom to go about their day.
Simple to Use
Designed for patients of all ages and tech confidence levels — no complicated setup, no learning curve.
Appointment Flexibility
Easily adjust preparation timings when machine delays or rescheduled appointments change the plan.
Peace of Mind
Patients and carers can trust that preparation is on track, reducing anxiety and improving treatment outcomes.
Suitable for pelvic radiotherapy patients
Patient Prep Prompt supports patients receiving radiotherapy for a range of pelvic cancers.
What patients say
During my 25 days chemoradiotherapy I noticed myself getting more and more tired and unable to think straight. Working out my prep timings each day, taking into account machine delays, became increasingly difficult to manage. This simple app helped to take away the thinking element, and the alerts gave me peace of mind that I was doing my prep correctly ready for my treatment.
