Personal Health Advocacy Portal

Navigate any diagnosis
with Vivacuri.

Vivacuri comes from viva, Latin for life, and curi, short for curiosity. Put the two together, and the possibilities are endless.

Vivacuri is a personal health advocacy portal containing the tools you need to navigate any diagnosis, your vocabulary, your care team, your plan, your documents, all in one place. Built by patients, for patients.

Who It's For

Three ways in.

Vivacuri serves patients directly, advocates as a platform tool, and institutions as a navigation benefit.

We focus on what you want as a unique individual — you have options, and we are here to amplify your voice and your choices beyond the clinical path. Purchasing for a parent or a distant loved one is just as easy: we provide peace of mind when you are at one of the lowest times in your life.

For Advocates
The platform that does the admin so you can do the advocacy.

  • Built by a PCORI Ambassador and Stanford PFAC member

Built by a Patient

Sarah Knopp is a Board-Certified Patient Advocate with over 10 years of lived cancer experience and 160+ rounds of chemotherapy. She is the founder of Living Before Dying Corporation and the builder of the Vivacuri platform — because no tool like this existed, and she knew exactly what it needed to be.

She holds a BCPA credential, is a certified resilience coach, INELDA-trained death doula, PCORI Ambassador, Mentor at Cancer Hope Network, and a member of Stanford Healthcare's Patient and Family Advisory Council.

Curiosity moves you toward healing.

"I built Vivacuri because I have been in the room
where the diagnosis lands —
and I know what it costs to not process
a single word being said to you."
