Wake up to a new day.

It’s time for Fuel.

Multiple Sclerosis, oncology patients and their caregivers are constantly waking up to unfulfilled days. In Fuel, we have imagined a new day for them, a day in which time spent is purposeful, effective, and shared. Find out more by clicking below!

PATIENTS

CAREGIVERS

Take control of fatigue. Fuel your days!

We know how unpredictable and hard to manage disease-related fatigue can be. Which is why we created Fuel, a service that helps you manage your fatigue and find useful resources tailored to your needs, while helping you effectively communicate with your loved ones and medical staff.

Fuel helps you

Understand your fatigue

By running in the background while you use your phone, Fuel measures and understands your fatigue. Then, it lets you know how it behaves, today and in the near future.

Be proactive

By showing you the main factors affecting it, providing you with strategies and resources to minimize their effects, and then helping you evaluate the success of these strategies.

Communicate better

By providing your medical staff and caregivers with reports about your fatigue and your daily symptoms, and helping your loved ones better manage their caregiving duties.

Tailored to your needs

At Fuel, we know that even though our patients all struggle with fatigue, each one of them has different needs, goals, and motivations. We invite you to read our patient stories and test the Fuel app prototype as if you were them!

Your Circle

Every patient has a circle, those people who are there to help and support you in your journey. Sometimes, communicating with them gets a little hard. Fuel is here to help them better understand how they can support you.

Help us make Fuel real!

Join more than 50 testers that are already using our Test App on Android!

By doing a simple test with your phone, you will help us train the algorithm that will support Fuel. Testing is open to people with or without chronic fatigue.

A Sugar project
