Built by two high schoolers who understood cancer from different sides.

Soothe Note was founded in 2026 by two high school juniors who had seen cancer from different sides.

Brynn Forlizzi, co-founder of Soothe Note, is a cancer survivor who was first diagnosed in 2023 during high school. She knows what it feels like to sit across from a doctor and suddenly go blank, even when the details matter: symptoms, side effects, medications, questions, and everything that happened between appointments.

Teddy Aaron, founder and CEO, came to the problem from the caregiver and support side. He had lived close to cancer too, sitting in waiting rooms and seeing how hard it can be to help someone you care about without knowing what to track, what to ask, or how to make the next appointment easier.

When Teddy brought the idea to Brynn at the start of 2026, it clicked immediately. Not as a startup idea, but as something they both understood from different seats.

Most health apps are built to win attention. More notifications. More streaks. More tracking. But cancer care does not need gamification. It needs something simple, calm, and useful on hard days.

That became Soothe Note: a calm cancer care tracking app for daily check-ins, symptoms, medications, appointment questions, private notes, caregiver sharing, and visit-ready reports.

Soothe Note was built for the space between appointments, where patients and caregivers are often carrying everything in their heads.
