When your life suddenly changes due to illness or an accident, you often want to keep your loved ones informed. Perhaps you have just been diagnosed with cancer, are caring for a partner who is recovering from an accident, or are in the middle of IVF treatment. In such moments, clear and secure communication with your loved ones is of paramount importance. But how do you do that in a way that feels familiar?
The pitfalls of fast communication channels
In practice, many people turn to WhatsApp or email to share updates. It's fast, easy, and everyone uses it. Yet there are risks:
- You never know exactly whether messages are being forwarded and to whom
- Sensitive information gets scattered across different apps and groups
- Privacy is hardly guaranteed
- You have to tell your story over and over again
In vulnerable situations, you want peace of mind and clarity, not another source of stress.
Why sharing medical information is more sensitive
Medical information is personal. It can involve diagnoses, treatments, emotions and uncertainty. You don't just share that with anyone. Moreover, sometimes you want to process what is happening yourself before discussing it with others.
Feelings and expectations can differ, especially within families. Who do you tell what, and when? What if your child doesn't need to know everything, but your sister does? How do you avoid misunderstandings?
A safe alternative: Stamps
Stamps is a private platform specially designed to make this type of communication easier and safer. The app allows you to share updates at your own pace with exactly the people you choose using a unique code: parents, friends who live away from home, friends and acquaintances.
You decide who can read it. You can add photos and written stories. Everything in one place, without distractions, without unsolicited opinions, and without the feeling that you “have to share something” on social media. You are in control.
The advantages of Stamps for medical communication:
- Secure and private: only visible to those you invite
- Overview: everything in one central place
- Peace of mind: no repetition of your story
- Emotional space:: share at your own pace, without pressure
Who is this for?
- People who have just been diagnosed (e.g. with cancer or a chronic condition)
- Parents of a sick or premature baby
- People undergoing rehabilitation
- Caregivers of someone with ALS, early-stage dementia or another serious illness
- Anyone who needs clarity and peace of mind in communicating about illness and rehabilitation
What makes Stamps different?
Stamps is not social media. It is a safe, people-oriented environment where your story takes centre stage. It's all about connecting with the people you choose, not about reach or likes.
And as an added bonus, you can automatically create a remembrance book of everything you have shared. For processing, looking back or saving your story for later. For yourself or for your children.
Try it for yourself. Go to http://www.stamps-app.com and discover how sharing can bring peace of mind.
