COG KidsCare vs Act

For parents and caregivers of children with cancer. The Children’s Oncology Group (COG) created the KidsCare App for parents and caregivers. It provides a place for you to get and keep the information you need while caring for a child with cancer. Creating an Account Creating an account allows you to store your own notes, information, appointments, and/or phone numbers in the App. You will also be able to sync your information across multiple devices. If you don’t create an account, you will still be able to access content in the App, and you can always create an account later. Home The Home Tab provides quick access to all features within the App: • Caring for your child • Appointment tracking • Journaling • One-touch dialing • Emergency Room Card Info The Info Tab includes all of the information from the Children’s Oncology Group’s New Diagnosis Guide and Family Handbook, including all illustrations. This information – along with the information you receive from your healthcare team – is designed to help you understand your child’s illness and treatment, and learn what you need to know to care for your child at home. Journal In the Journal, you can track your child’s lab results, weight, height, vital signs, and treatments, and make notes for your healthcare providers. You can also instantly convert lab values and vital signs from Conventional to Metric or SI measurement units, and graph them onto charts. My Team In the My Team tab, you can conveniently store contact information for members of your child’s hospital and healthcare team.

A genetic result can answer one question—and immediately create ten more. What does this mean for me? What screenings do I need? When should I start? How often do I need them? What should I ask my doctor? ACT-GEN helps turn those questions into a plan you can understand and act on. Built for people with Lynch syndrome or BRCA-related hereditary cancer risk, ACT-GEN brings education, prevention strategies, appointments, and trusted resources together in one place—so your care feels less scattered and easier to navigate. With ACT-GEN, you can: - Understand your condition with clear, visual education about Lynch syndrome, BRCA-related risk, and why preventive care matters. - Build your prevention plan with screening and prevention strategies based on your age and genetic variant. - Know why each strategy matters and when it may be recommended. - Stay on top of your care by tracking upcoming, to-schedule, and overdue appointments. - Prepare for appointments with saved preparation notes and questions for your provider. - Capture key visit details including notes, results, voice recordings, and changes to your prevention plan. - Learn from doctor-vetted resources about screening, prevention, cascade testing, risk-reducing surgery, and more. Your genetic risk is part of your story. ACT-GEN helps you understand what comes next and keep moving forward, one step at a time.
