There are more than two billion people around the world living with long term health conditions and Live Better With wants to make their lives, well, better.

Founded by Tamara Rajah in 2015, Live Better With is already improving the lives of people with cancer and dementia, and those going through the menopause by offering a whole range of services.

More than 200,000 people have signed up to its online community to share their stories, experiences, and to extend solidarity to other users. Meanwhile, it also offers a range of expert advice with its online content, which has been specifically tailored to help users and their carers. It also offers a support directory to help users find local support, offers on community services, and cancer travel insurance products.

However, it also runs an ecommerce service selling non-medical products. Currently, it has more than 1,500 products online ranging from skin creams to sleep aids. As with everything Live Better With does, the online store is extremely user friendly, listing products according to the symptoms they alleviate.

The most important thing you need to know about Live Better With, though, is that its users love it. 87% of its users said they can live better with a side effect of their treatment, 88% have said they’ve learnt something new and useful about their condition, and a whopping 90% of users would recommend Live Better With as a source of support.

While Live Better With can’t cure everyone, it’s certainly making each day that little bit better to live with.
