PROSTMATE is a world first online portal that helps men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer manage their treatments, access specialists and find out the latest research and information in one trusted place.
Fidget Friend partnered with APCR and renowned researcher Dr. Addie Wooten, to construct what has become an integral resource for over 700 members (and growing) across Australia. The goal was to create a platform that engaged and supported those dealing with prostate cancer (patients, families and health professionals) on an ongoing basis in order to support members while also collecting valuable research data to help shape the future of prostate cancer care.
MEN LIKE MEASURING THINGS!
)
The Timeline was built to test an idea, being that; in order for a man to improve something, it’s better if he can track it, measure it and see some progress! It followed that in fact, we were right, men like to track things and the Timeline has become one of the most successful flagship features of the site. The timeline also helps promote better communication between doctor and patient.
ENGAGING MEN = TRACKING PROGRESS
Initially the challenge was to find a way to engage men (particularly in the older demographic) who have historically not been proactive in managing their health – this was especially so in regional areas.
The solution focused on an app-like design (a la runkeeper), allowing men to track their progress in one place. PROSTMATE tracks PSA results, graphs check up data, logs appointments and treatments – and is the place for patients and partners to have a full record of their experience with prostate cancer.
PROSTMATE also has a content library with all the latest information from one trusted source. There are regular online check ups and an online booking system where you can schedule an online consultation anywhere in Australia with a prostate cancer specialist or psychologist.

"The team at Fidget Friend have worked alongside us each step of the way in developing PROSTMATE. From the early development stages through to the creative design and the final product and refinements they have been a great team to work with. Their agile approach has enabled us to explore new ways of developing our online programs and they have been a pleasure to work with. I have recommended the Fidget Friend team to numerous other organisations looking for a reliable and dedicated team. Thanks to Simon and his team PROSTMATE is leading the online cancer care environment and making a real difference to men and their families. "

MAKING DRUPAL DYNAMIC
Technically, we found that our challenge has been in pushing Drupal to work as a application as dynamic as PROSTMATE, rather a straight up content management system.
This program has been rolled out across the country and is especially helpful to our friends in the far corners of regional Australia. Fidget Friend also advised on the video production for above animation
