The story behind the Soothe Note app

How two young people came together to bring some calm to the chaos of cancer patients’ lives

The young minds behind Soothe Note talk cancer experiences and how they're helping others

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (TENNESSEE VALLEY LIVING) -Two high school students are turning their personal experiences with cancer into a resource for others.

Teddy Aaron and Brynn Forlizzi co-founded Soothe Note, a free, privacy-first app designed to help patients and caregivers stay organized during cancer treatment.

Forlizzi is a cancer survivor, while Aaron experienced the journey as a caregiver. Together, they recognized how overwhelming it can be for families to keep track of symptoms, medications, appointments, questions for doctors, and emotional changes.

Soothe Note provides a single secure place to organize that information, helping families feel better prepared for conversations with their healthcare teams and easing some of the stress that comes with treatment.

The teen co-founders hope their app reminds families they don’t have to navigate cancer alone. They are available for remote interviews and can provide app demonstrations, photos, and video footage showcasing how Soothe Note supports patients and caregivers.
