CanSurround's mission: Ease the stress of cancer patients - DBT
Summary
With more than 25 years of combined experience in the oncology-specialty home care sector, Meg Maley and Jill Teixeira, both oncology nurses and University of Delaware graduates, realized that patients and their families needed tools to help them cope with stress. The nurses had previously worked with Jon Brilliant, a founder of WellDoc and a pioneer of mobile and digital health products. Together, the trio created CanSurround, a digital health platform that users can access by a mobile phone, tablet or computer. The founders, who piloted the CanSurround app with cancer centers, used their experience to develop the features, which include interactive journaling. CanSurround also features yoga videos, which are a boon to patients who are housebound due to their illness or a compromised immune system.
