Cancer Central

Cancer Central is a brand-new digital platform created to provide those affected by cancer with the help and support they need; it is a centralised source of cancer information from point of diagnosis, treatment and beyond.

They use conversational search to connect people with products, services and support, when and where they need them.

Examples include benefits advice, insurance products, counselling, complementary therapy, respite care, hats, wigs, lingerie, skincare, financial help, nutrition advice, local societies or communities, meals on wheels, books, blogs, forums, local hospital taxi services and so on – all based on their geographical location and cancer type to provide them with individualised information.

Cancer Central Founder & CEO, Avril Chester, is Entrepreneur of the Year at the Women in IT Awards 2019.
