He wanted to create an algorithm-matched platform where people dealing with similar experiences – such as undergoing the same type of treatment or having a similar stage cancer – could connect for support. Zach also envisioned providing users with access to scientifically based advice concerning various topics, from treatments and lifestyle choices to diet tips.
For those whose medical appointments have stopped, NowWhat is designed to help manage side effects from treatment, cope with anxiety regarding cancer recurrence, and lead a healthy life afterward. By providing these resources, Zach hopes NowWhat can help make hard times easier for those affected by cancer.

At Onix, we strive to start our cooperation with a seamless, effective and transparent process.
To guarantee a high level of flexibility, speed, and quality in our development process, we employ an Agile methodology.
This approach allows us to make continuous improvements quickly and flexibly address any issues or delays.
Onix started development from the product discovery phase. This step is essential to eliminate potential financial risks while making the development process smoother and more predictable.
Initially, the decision on which technology to use for the forum was unclear, so we suggested a 40-hour exploration period.
Our developer tried building the first version of the forum using different technologies before settling on the most suitable option.
Onix started this project from scratch. Сreating a minimum viable product (MVP) allowed us to reduce the time and money invested in launching the product.
This approach enables us to test the client's idea with minimal investment, gather feedback from real users, and further develop and refine the product based on market research.
Ultimately, this allows our client to get their product to market quickly and efficiently.

The top-level requirement was building an informative website on WordPress where users could add and find medical articles and develop a private portal to find friends and chat with them.
To build a high-performing website aligned with our client's goals and budget, the Onix team offered the following solutions:
The information structure is comprised of valuable articles and inspiring stories from other patients with well-planned and easy-to-scan content architecture, fast loading, simple yet effective navigation, and a pleasant color scheme.
We built an intuitive administrative panel that allows users to fill the site with information easily, handle it in the most convenient way possible, and organize the data through a straightforward interface.
The admin panel contains a list of registered users and statistics. This allows for managing the forum (adding tags, approving anonymous posts, and revising posts and comments that have been reported).
Thanks to a specially designed algorithm, members contact others who’ve experienced similar treatment paths, suffer similar side effects, or have similar worries and concerns.
Our experts built a comprehensive Q&A page that serves as a constantly expanding source of value for the client's audience.
This page educates, informs, and provides helpful information on prostate cancer, its treatment, and more, offering ongoing emotional and lifestyle support.
Private messages allow users to communicate with people who faced the same problem, share experiences, find friends, and get support.

During the website development, we set up a seamless and transparent communication process that allowed us to discuss requirements and risks openly, keep clients informed, and receive feedback.
With such close collaboration, we could make sure everyone was on the same page, avoid delays, and launch the product quickly.
From now on, prostate cancer patients don't have to switch between websites trying to find the correct medical info, suitable help, or the perfect forum. Everything is here, on the NowWhat website.
