Talk or type, whichever is easier
Say how you're feeling, or type it if you'd rather. Chemo can make your fingers numb, and typing gets hard. Olya works either way, any time, day or night.
Olya is a free companion for people with cancer and the people who love them. Talk or type, whichever is easier. Keep your records in one place, and walk into every appointment ready.
Olya is not a doctor and does not give medical advice. If this is an emergency, call 911.
Say how you're feeling, or type it if you'd rather. Chemo can make your fingers numb, and typing gets hard. Olya works either way, any time, day or night.
With everyone's permission, Olya can record your visit and write it out, so you can listen again later instead of trying to remember it all.
Take a photo of a scan, a lab result, or a discharge sheet. Olya sorts it and keeps it together, so you can find it when you need it.
Olya looks up clinical trials that could be a fit for your situation and explains what each one actually involves. Real trials, checked against the national registry, so you have something solid to bring to your doctor. Built first for colon and rectal cancer, with more coming.
The problem nobody talks about
Your surgeon has one file. Your oncologist has another. The imaging center has a third. If you went somewhere else for a second opinion, that’s a fourth.
Every one of them sees a piece. Nobody sees all of it.
Except you. You are the only person who was in every room.
Olya helps you keep the whole thing together, in your own hands.
The difference
Stage 3. Left side. KRAS wild type. FOLFOX, cycle 5.
Those words change everything. They change which side effects to expect, which trials could fit, and which questions are worth your fifteen minutes.
Olya learns them once, from your records or just from talking, and remembers. So when you ask something at eleven at night, the answer is about your cancer. Not cancer in general.
“Numbness is a common chemotherapy side effect. Talk to your doctor.”
“That’s oxaliplatin, and you’re on cycle 5. This is the point where teams often talk about adjusting the dose. I’ve written the question down for Dr. Chen.”
Same question. Very different answer.
Knows who's on your team. Early on, Olya asks who your doctors and nurses are. That way it can point you to the right person, instead of telling you to "call your doctor" when your nurse navigator is the one who picks up.
Set it up your way. Use Olya yourself, or let a family member or caregiver help, with your permission.
Track how you're doing. Nausea, tiredness, appetite, mood. Say it once and Olya keeps the thread.
When eating gets hard. Nausea, no appetite, nothing tasting right. Olya will talk it through with you and help you figure out whether it's worth asking your team about seeing a dietitian.
A one-page summary you bring with you. Olya turns your day-to-day updates into a short, clear page you can hand to your doctor or read from.
A list of things to ask. Whenever Olya doesn't know something, it saves the question for your next visit instead of guessing.
Nothing goes anywhere without you. Olya doesn't send anything to your care team on its own. You decide what to share and when.
Keep the record with you. Your summaries stay in one place, so you can look back at what changed and when, without digging through paperwork.
The questions don’t come while you’re sitting in the exam room. They come at nine at night, three days later, when something feels different and you’re not sure if it matters.
Is this normal. Should I call someone. Is it getting worse. It’s late and you don’t want to bother anybody.
That’s the part Olya is for. Ask anything, any time, in whatever words come out. Olya will either help you understand it, or write it down for the person who can.
And if it’s urgent, Olya will say so and tell you to call.
Olya turns everything from between visits into one page. Numbers, dates, what changed, and the questions you want to ask. Most doctors can read it in under a minute.

QUESTIONS FROM MARIA
You choose what’s on it, and you decide who sees it.
Your recordings, documents, and summaries are encrypted when they're stored and when they're sent. Nothing is shared with anyone, including your care team, unless you choose to share it.
Olya is free, and you can share as much or as little as you want. There’s no rush and nothing to fill out.
