DEMOCRATIZING CANCER CARE

Karkinos is connecting cancer patients with every point of the quality cancer care continuum through an empathy driven and digitally empowered network. 

MEET BRAND KARKINOS 

Karkinos Healthcare is a comprehensive oncology platform that provides world class cancer care closer to the patients’ home. The brand is on a mission to build a future where no one is deprived of cancer care due to lack of access or affordability. Founded by a panel of eminent & renowned doctors from India and abroad, the Karkinos delivery paradigm has been designed around bespoke solutions that address clinical needs through a digitally enabled distributed network that connects patients with every point of the quality cancer care continuum

THE CONTEXT 

It is estimated that there are 2.25 million cases of cancer in India every year, which doubles every 10 years. Three quarters of these cancers are detected in the late stages and mortality rates are devastatingly high because of lack of access to standardized cancer care. Whilst Indians are at the forefront of medical research in the West, India as a country is a laggard in researching and curing the condition. 

THE DISRUPTION 

Karkinos Healthcare plans to address these problems with an end-to-end technology platform that coordinates every value point along the cancer care continuum minutely and deftly: Medical centres for the treatment of complex cancers… research center which leverages technologies such as genomics, synthetic biology, sensors… and AI to analyze data and leading to the development of affordable cancer interventions. The fundamental principle of Karkinos Health is the democratization of cancer care in a participatory fashion with existing health providers, researchers and technologists.
