[ About the client ]

Dr. Zach Dovey has a wealth of experience in treating patients at some of the world's most renowned cancer centers, including those in France, Belgium, the UK, and the US.

Through conversations with his patients, he recognized the lack of reliable, practical advice and emotional support available to them, and this inspired him to create NowWhat.

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.

That’s how our client turned to the Onix team for assistance with website development for the cancer society.

Onix’s approach
to development

Setting up a transparent
development process

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.

Product discovery stage

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.

Building MVP

Onix started this project from scratch. Creating 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.

[ Results ]

As a result of Onix’s collaboration, our client now operates a reliable, well-performing website that allows cancer and post-cancer patients to share experiences and get great support from each other.

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.
