OUR VISION

We're building a world where technology will empower patients to live better lives through and after cancer.

People want to live, not just survive. We exist to build the technology that will enable patients to improve their own experience of healthcare.

WHY WE DO IT

WHY WE DO IT

We believe that...

We believe that patients deserve better.

49% of breast cancer patients consider hair loss the most traumatic aspect of their treatment.

Research shows that hair loss has a significant impact on quality of life through negatively impacting body confidence, sexuality, wellness, social functioning and sense of self.

68% of all chemotherapy patients develop some form of peripheral nerve damage as a result of their treatment.

Peripheral neuropathy causes people to lose their livelihoods, passions and ability to do daily activites because they received life saving treatment.

These needs aren't going anywhere - and they're getting bigger.

Key opinion leaders agree that chemotherapy will remain a mainstay of cancer care, while new targeted therapies continue to cause the same old problems. 5 of the 7 "targeted therapy" anti-body drug conjugates approved globally to date cause alopecia in more than 45% of patients. Meanwhile, cancer rates in the US and EU are predicted to rise by 49% and 21% by 2040 respectively. 

OUR VALUES

We believe in patient-driven healthcare

Patient-Oriented

We're determined to accurately understanding what people need from our products. Our advantage comes from putting the patient first.

Focused

We identify and prioritise the most important tasks, setting scope, and getting to the important answers quickly. We win the chance to go deeper.

Expect & Reward Excellence

We only accept excellence and require high standards of ourselves. We reward excellence by recognising it in ourselves and in our partners.

Ownership

We are all owners of our mission and our company. We have an ownership mentality - we take responsibility and empower each other.

Openness

We are open to feedback from our stakeholders and we're transparent in sharing information. We challenge ourselves to be open minded.
