Bengaluru based startup Onco.com has launched the world's first cancer care app aimed at helping cancer patients and caregivers avail various services through their phone.

The app, Onco Cancer Care, allows patients and caregivers to book and manage their appointments and treatments, and also chat with their care manager for any queries.

Cancer patients can now completely manage their treatment journey through the app. They can book online and in-person consultations with top oncologists across the country. They can also book diagnostic tests and avail an online opinion from a panel of experienced oncologists. 

The app intends to reduce the waiting time for patients at hospitals and clinics by allowing them to make online payments for consultations and treatment. They will also get additional benefits via discounts and cashback, which can be utilised while making payment for future services. 

The startup plans to add video call consultation over the app, making it easier for patients to discuss their case and treatment with the oncologist. Also a content and community section will feature on the app in future. This is to provide useful tips to patients on post-treatment care, and also to connect cancer patients with survivors who have been through a similar experience.
