Clinicians & Health Systems
Professional insights for oncology, rehab, and survivorship teams.
How does Curava fit into existing care?
Curava fits between visits as a home-based, low-burden, oncology-specific tool that extends survivorship support without adding significant workload. It can be embedded into survivorship pathways, rehab referrals, or virtual programs.
What kind of safety model does Curava use?
Curava uses a multi-layered safety model including red-flag logic, conservative and tailored starting points, and symptom-informed progression. The app provides clear prompts for patients to pause activity and contact their care team when clinically indicated. The app can also build in physician- based parameters to ensure plans fit within restrictions and guidance provided.
What data and insights are available to clinicians?
Clinicians receive summary views of patient progress, including PROs on fatigue and quality of life (QOL), adherence levels, and activity trends. Data can be exported to support visits, survivorship care plans, and institutional quality initiatives.
How is Curava aligned with exercise-oncology guidelines?
Curava is fully aligned with major survivorship and exercise-oncology guidelines. It focuses on evidence-based activity targets and gradual building protocols, specifically designed to drive measurable improvements in cancer-related fatigue and function.
Safety & Medical Concerns
Clinical safety protocols and medical guidance for Curava movement plans.
Is Curava safe during my cancer treatment?
Curava is designed specifically for people living with and beyond cancer, creating movement plans that account for your diagnosis, treatment history (like chemotherapy or radiation), common side effects, and your current energy levels—all built from the expertise of a clinical exercise physiologist specializing in oncology rehab. It incorporates safety-first rules that automatically pause, downgrade intensity, or suggest rest based on your symptom check-ins or fatigue reports. However, Curava does not replace your medical team: you should always check with your oncologist or clinician before starting any new exercise program, follow their specific restrictions, and share your Curava progress reports with them as needed. The app actively encourages modifications when you report red flags like severe fatigue, pain, or nausea.
What if I've never exercised before—or it’s been a long time?
Curava is built for real life, including starting points like “I’m exhausted from treatment and haven’t moved much in months or years.” It offers very gentle, low-impact options such as seated stretches, short walks, or breathing exercises, with sessions as brief as 5-10 minutes. You control the pace through daily check-ins, so plans progress gradually at your comfort level—making it feel achievable and sustainable rather than overwhelming or intimidating.
Can Curava replace advice from my oncology team?
No, Curava is a complementary tool designed to support—not substitute—your medical care. It provides evidence-based exercise guidance tailored to cancer survivorship, but your oncologist, nurses, or physical therapist remain your primary advisors for treatment-related decisions. We recommend printing or sharing your weekly progress summary from the Profile screen with your care team, and always defer to their guidance if they recommend specific limitations.

Pricing & Access
Information on subscriptions, sponsorships, and payment methods.
How much does Curava cost?
Curava operates on a subscription model to ensure ongoing updates, clinical content, and support, with flexible options for individual users as well as programs that may be covered or sponsored by cancer clinics, employers, wellness benefits, or health insurance plans. Exact pricing, including any monthly/annual rates, introductory discounts, or free trials, will be clearly displayed in the app and on our website before you sign up—so there are no surprises. You can cancel your subscription at any time directly through your account settings or app store, with access continuing until the end of your current billing period.
Are there discounts, free trials, or sponsored access?
Absolutely—Curava prioritizes accessibility, so we offer introductory free trials for new users to test the core features, plus special programs like clinic-sponsored access (where your oncology center covers costs) or employer wellness partnerships. Watch for limited-time discounts on our waitlist and website; eligibility details for sponsored plans depend on your location and provider partnerships, all shown transparently during signup.
What payment methods do you accept?
We support standard credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and app store billing for seamless recurring subscriptions. For clinic- or employer-sponsored programs, payments may be handled directly by your organization with no out-of-pocket cost to you. All transactions are secure and processed through trusted payment gateways.
Usage & Flexibility
Practical information for navigating your unique recovery journey.
What happens if I stop for a while and want to restart?
Curava is designed with the reality of cancer recovery in mind—treatment cycles, flare-ups of fatigue, hospitalizations, or life events can all create natural pauses, and that’s completely expected. When you return to the app after any break (days, weeks, or longer), it starts with a quick check-in on your current symptoms and energy levels, then generates a gentle restart plan that rebuilds gradually rather than jumping back to your previous intensity. Your full history remains saved, so progress isn’t lost—it just adapts to where you are now.
How often should I use Curava?
For optimal results grounded in exercise oncology research, aim for 3-5 sessions per week, but Curava’s adaptive design works with your reality—even one gentle session counts as meaningful progress and helps build consistency. Daily symptom check-ins (under 30 seconds) keep your plan current without requiring full workouts every day, and the app celebrates streaks while forgiving gaps.
Can I use Curava on multiple devices?
Yes, your account syncs seamlessly across iOS/Android phones, tablets, and our upcoming web version, so you can start a session on your phone during a clinic wait and finish at home. All data like plans, check-ins, and progress updates in real-time as long as you're logged in.
Data Privacy and Security
Information on data protection, encryption, and your privacy rights.
How does Curava use and protect my data?
Curava collects only the essential information needed to personalize and improve your experience—such as basic profile details (cancer type, treatment phase), your voluntary symptom check-ins, session completions, and (if you opt-in) anonymized data from connected wearables like steps or heart rate. Everything is stored securely with bank-level encryption, governed by a clear, user-friendly privacy policy you can review anytime. We never share identifiable data with employers, insurers, or partners without your explicit consent; any research collaborations use only de-identified, aggregated insights (like average fatigue trends across users) where permitted by law and your settings.
Will my data be sold or shared with third parties?
No—Curava does not sell your personal data to anyone. Sharing only happens in limited cases like de-identified aggregates for clinical research (to advance survivorship care) or if you explicitly authorize it (e.g., sharing a progress PDF with your doctor). You control all permissions through simple toggles in Profile/Settings, and third-party integrations (like wearables) follow strict OAuth standards with no persistent access.
What if I want to delete my data?
You can request full deletion of your account and all associated data at any time directly from the Profile/Settings menu, or by emailing info@curavacare.com. We'll confirm removal within 30 days (per privacy laws like CCPA/GDPR), retaining only anonymized usage stats if needed for legal/aggregate reporting— you'll get a confirmation email when complete.
