The First Mobile App for Cancer-Related Fatigue - Meet Untire

UTRECHT, Netherlands - April 30, 2018 - PRLog -- Tired of Cancer launches its new cancer-related fatigue app Untire today. The Dutch healthcare startup's mission is to help as many cancer patients and survivors fight cancer-related fatigue (CRF). The digital app, Untire, provides patients with the right tools to regain energy and establish a better quality of life.

CRF is characterized by feelings of tiredness, weakness, and lack of energy related to cancer or cancer therapy. It often impacts daily living, reduces quality of life with social and economic consequences. Today, it is estimated that 30-40% of cancer patients and survivors worldwide suffer from cancer-related fatigue.

"CRF is a very important topic, however both patients and doctors tend not to talk about it. One of the reasons is that there was no concrete solution. Now there is," said Tired of Cancer co-founder Door Vonk, "Our aim is to help cancer patients worldwide with this program."

At the heart of Tired of Cancer are two decades of psychological interventions and academic research that show the combination of physical and psychological interventions results in a reduction of CRF. The Untire app is designed to help all cancer patients and survivors irrespective of cancer diagnosis or cancer stage to engage on their terms.
