Cancer Chatbot - Master of Code Global

CSource Cancer Awareness Chatbot Case Study

Centralized AI-Powered Cancer Support Bot for Patients and Caregivers

Founded by Jonno Boyer-Dry, a cancer survivor, CSource was committed to supporting patients, caregivers, and their families by providing streamlined access to vital resources. The platform serviced thousands of users globally, offering information from trusted sources to help navigate the complexities of cancer care.

The challenge:

How could we simplify the search for credible cancer-related information for patients and caregivers amidst an overwhelming amount of online content?

Challenge 2

Jonno Boyer-Dry, a 30-year-old cancer survivor who was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, experienced firsthand the tremendous challenge of finding reliable data within a multitude of online sources. After conducting extensive research to gather useful information for cancer patients, caregivers, and family members, he realized there was no centralized place to discover these valuable materials. This led to the creation of the first version of the Cancer Chatbot by CSource.

Challenge 1

The initial iteration had several drawbacks, including a confusing structure and difficulty in navigating between sources. Users often found themselves stuck in loops or unable to return to the main menu. Understanding the emotional and informational needs of patients and their families, Jonno and his wife, Allison Boyer-Dry, aimed to create a solution that would help, inform, and support people more effectively. They reached out to Master of Code Global to rebuild the Cancer Chatbot to address these issues, ensuring that users could access trusted resources quickly and easily.
