Gilles and Mikael both share a challenging cancer experience within their family. Mikael lost his mom when he was young and recently lost his aunt to the same cancer. Gilles was affected by his brother’s diagnosis several years ago. Mikael struggled to stay in touch with his aunt because of the distance and decided to respond to this challenge with an app to improve
support for patients. These personal stories inspired us to take action to improve the lives of people living with cancer.Cancer is a global problem and new cases are on the rise. Worldwide, 18M people will be diagnosed with cancer in 2018 alone. Studies show that 1 in 4 patients lack support from family and friends.
