Idea or High Level Concept
We developed technologies to reduce the mortality rate of children undergoing cancer treatment, and reduce the costs on treatment.
Territory of the product or service implementation
South America
Traction and Current Status
We are on a POC (Proof of Concept) on the biggest Cancer hospital in Latin America - "Hospital de Amor de Barretos"
Problem or Opportunity
All patients that are on cancer treatment has a condition call neutropenia - that is the low immunity causing vulnerabity to any other opportunity disease and this can kill the person if is not taken fast actions on it.
In children this is even worst because they dont know what is going on.
We create a wearable that is prepare to measure 5 parameters on line that will advise if something is wrong (a fever for example) to medical staff, hospital and parents - taking actions faster and saving lives.
Solution
We developed a dedicated wearable that stick on armpit of the child and send the vital signs to a mobile app to parents, anothe app to doctor and nurses and a webtool on a dashboard at the hospital that shows all vital signs and all locations of each child.
If there is any problem a fever for example all are alarmed and actions are done to medicate as soon as possible the patient
Customer Segments and Market
There will be 12000 new cases of children diagnosed per year only in Brazil
In the World this number is about 362000 per year
Our service is to hospitals and health insurance - it is not to parents.
Today there are some thermometers that send to mobile some data - but there is no integrated system that is an auxiliary to the treatment.
Revenue Streams and Cost Structure
Our service is about US$50,00/ month per child
Minimum of 50 children in each hospital
The cost structure is basically development (90% done) , system maintenance, wearable production and adesives.
Business Model, Chanells, Metrics
It is a SaaS model - B2B
It is about US$70,00 per child per month
Competitors and Existing Alternatives
There is no companies working with this niche or doing something similar to childhood cancer.
We developed a entire system that as business plan cheap to hospitals and prepared to machine learning and artificial inteligence
Some wearables are only showing the temperature to one device close by it is been sold in markets the battery is limited and not rechargeable.
Advantages or differentiators
Many high technological systems to a unic goal: reduce the mortality rate on children underging cancer treatment
Wearable - very small to be confortable to child; rechardable battery; battery now for 25 days using; water proof
Dedicated mobile app developed to be helpfull to parents and hospital
Dedicated Cloud System similar to Embraer´s model that monitore up to 5000 airplanes with 6000 parameters in each airplane.
Risks
To long to get Anvisa approval in Brazil
Incubation/Acceleration programs accomplishment
Participation on Nexus program in Parque Tecnológico in São José dos Campos/SP - Brazil
BNDES Garagem
Barretos - Hospital do Amor
Won the competition and other awards
Many interviews and presentation in Universities :
