Supportal app for iPhone and iPad

Supportal enables people who are coping with difficult health problems or life circumstances to connect on anonymous phone calls with similarly situated people at the push of a button!

Here’s how Supportal works: (1) a user joins a group that fits his/her circumstances (e.g., cancer, infertility, alcoholism/addiction, combat PTSD, HIV/AIDS, depression, anxiety); (2) when the user feels like talking to another member of the same group, he/she presses the “Make a Call” button from the group page, which connects him/her to an outside telephone conference line; (3) once a call is initiated, other group members receive a push notification, alerting them that someone from their group is waiting to talk; (4) the first group member to respond to the push notification gets connected to the same outside conference line where the initial caller is waiting to talk; (5) subsequent group members who respond to the push notification will be paired off on separate calls with each other; (6) because users call into an outside conference line, neither caller can see the other’s phone number, so the conversation is anonymous.

Supportal’s goal is to help people help each other!
