​Improvements enhance user experience.

The American Cancer Society, with support from Deloitte Health Equity Institute, has launched updates to the ACS CARES (Community Access to Resources, Education, and Support) app that offers individualized assistance to those impacted by cancer. 

The updates are designed to enhance the experience and empower the community of patients, caregivers, supporters, and volunteers. 

Highlights include:

• Red Badge Notifications - Our new notification feature means you'll always be in the loop. Look out for the red badge on your app icon – it's your signal that new messages are waiting for you, keeping you connected to the support you need, when you need it.
• Enhanced Search - Searching for information has never been easier. Our enhanced semantic search understands the context of your inquiries, providing you with detailed and relevant responses as you type. It's like having a personal navigator at your fingertips!
• Intuitive Volunteer Connections - We believe in the power of shared experiences. That's why our app now offers semantic matchmaking, connecting you with volunteers who have similar backgrounds and understand your journey. Update your "About Me" profile to make the most of this personalized feature.
• Related Links - Discover more with ease. Our content views now come with dynamically generated related links at the bottom. It's your gateway to a wealth of additional resources and information.
• Engagement and Support - We encourage all our users to update their profiles and explore these new features. Your engagement is what makes the ACS CARES™ community so special. Together, we can make every cancer journey a little easier.
• Optimized for Tablets - Enjoy a seamless experience on iPads and Android tablets. The app now looks great on large and small screens!

The updates are available now to all users of the ACS CARES app.
