Summary

Two teens, Brynn and Teddy, built Soothe Note — a free, user-friendly app helping cancer patients and caregivers manage treatment chaos — after facing it firsthand. Brynn, battling ovarian cancer since age 15, and Teddy, a caregiver, saw the need for a tool that tracks meds, appointments, symptoms, and even caregiver well-being. Since launching in March, the app has surged past 300 downloads with glowing feedback. Up next: Google Play release, expanded features, and a bold goal — one million users — to support patients with other chronic illnesses too.
