I believe digital health technology has the potential to immediately and effectively improve access and create better outcomes for everyone involved with a cancer diagnosis,” said Rick Dean, CEO, OncoHealth. “Historically, a person’s experience living with cancer and their level of care has been dictated by their geographic location, ability to pay, and support network. While there isn’t yet a cure for cancer, we believe the experience matters, and we’re on a mission to improve the quality of life for every person that cancer touches.”
