Welcome to iCare
iCare is a new interactive web-based portal to improve symptom management and health and wellbeing for people diagnosed with upper gastrointestinal or hepato-pancreato-biliary cancers and their carers. This personalised program offers a comprehensive selection of interactive modules and provides information and access to resources needed during a cancer diagnosis.
How this works
In this trial you may be allocated to receive immediate access to iCare or delayed access to iCare. When you have access to the program, you will receive one email reminder each week with information about the resources available within iCare.
Over a three-month period you can access iCare as often as you like.

We are conducting a trial to test iCare among people living with upper gastrointestinal or hepato-pancreato-biliary cancer. iCare is available for adults aged 18 years or older who;
- Have been diagnosed with oesophageal, pancreatic, liver, bile duct or stomach cancer in the last 12 months and your cancer hasn't spread, or
- If you are providing daily support to someone who meets the criteria above.
If you are interested in participating you can register below. After you register you will be asked a series of questions to confirm if you are eligible to take part.

The project is led by Professors’ Trish Livingston and Vicki White who have been developing supportive resources and interventions for people living with cancer and their family caregivers for over 25 years.
