Clinical intelligence
Four questions we systematically evaluate.
We review the full medical record against clinically defined questions to identify care options for patients and care teams to consider.
- 1
Personalized prognosis
What does the complete record suggest about the patient’s situation and outlook?
- 2
Second-opinion value
When could outside oncology expertise add meaningful value?
- 3
Clinical trial opportunity
Are there clinical trials worth evaluating based on the patient’s disease and circumstances?
- 4
Supportive & palliative care
Are there services that could improve quality of life alongside active treatment?
ARPA-H award
Building a new model for cancer care
insight and navigation.
Courage Health is developing its platform through an award from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) for Cancer Intelligence for Navigation, Care & Health (CINCH). Through CINCH, we are transforming fragmented oncology information into timely, clinician-reviewed intelligence that helps patients and care teams make informed decisions and take coordinated action.
