Get Matched

Our algorithm scores compatibility across multiple clinical dimensions and surfaces your top matches.

Connect & Chat

Message your matches directly in the app. Share experiences, ask questions, and support each other.

Why VitalMatch

Generic support isn't enough

Same cancer type and subtype — not just "breast cancer" but ER+/HER2- Stage IV
Same treatments — connect with someone on the same chemotherapy or immunotherapy regimen
Same biomarkers — BRCA1, EGFR, ALK fusions, and more
Similar life stage — age, diagnosis timing, and disease progression all factor in

"When you're dealing with a rare cancer, finding someone who has been through the exact same thing is invaluable. Not just for emotional support — but for practical advice about what to expect." — A VitalMatch user
