Tell us about your business.
Vinehealth’s platform uses behavioural science and AI to improve the quality of life of cancer patients through highly personalised patient support. The Vinehealth mobile app allows patients to track, understand and optimise their care, supporting them to feel in control and better self-manage, as well as to communicate crucial information back to their care team. Through this, the platform generates rich real-world data to represent the voice of patients in healthcare delivery and drug development.
When did you start your business?
2018.
What's been your biggest highlight?
Gaining our Class 1 Medical Device CE Mark certification in May 2021 and being recognised by leading organisation Orcha as the highest rated holistic cancer app globally.
What's been your biggest challenge?
There have been lots of big challenges along the way but one key one has been ensuring we build an engaging platform for patients that still holds value to clinicians and life-sciences. We've made sure to listen to the user throughout the whole product development process and it's a continual process of iteration and learning to ensure we get the balance right.
