Oncology
Fewer readmissions, well-prepared patients, and a quieter phone line
Results proven against usual care in a controlled surgical oncology trial. Every orbit starts from the numbers your service line already reports, readmissions, call volume, preparedness, and is built to move them.
A trusted digital guide your patients keep, from diagnosis through survivorship.
Your protocol in your team's own words, delivered when each instruction actually matters. Alongside the binder at chemo teaching and the navigator's calls, an orbit adds a consumer-grade digital mentor: engaging video, email, and text outreach that keeps patients and families informed, reassured, and on track between visits.
Built to your regimens and disease sites before launch.
One orbit, issued once, working for three audiences at the same time.
For the patient and family
They know what to do
A clear understanding of the diagnosis, the regimen, and who is caring for them
Treatment prep, side effect management, and what to expect at each cycle, on the day it applies
Which symptoms mean call us, and which mean go to the ED
The same guide works for the family member managing the recovery at home
For your team
Nothing added to the day
Ordered from the workflow you already run, no new FTEs
Fewer calls asking what chemo teaching already covered
Your protocols and your brand, not a generic cancer app
We build and maintain the content, including regimen updates
For the program
You can finally see it
Who opened their orbit and who never did, by patient
Patients not engaging with their care material flagged, before it becomes a poor outcome
Engagement and completion by disease site and by clinic
Optional: validated measures and PROMs scored automatically
How to begin
Start with one, add the rest
Select your ideal initial journey. For example, your highest-volume regimen or surgical pathway.
Treatment support. Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation, by regimen.
Surgical support. Cancer operations, from prep through discharge and recovery.
Survivorship. Long-term follow-up, late effects, and surveillance schedules.
Screening and outreach. Risk, screening, and referral before someone is a patient.
A patient’s orbit can evolve as their journey needs change
One orbit supports the full journey, adapting as needs change
The same orbit advances through three versions on its own, with no new app or login.
01
Early JourneyMotivation, understanding, preparation
Focusing on those vital early learnings that help a patient and their family navigate their fears, confusions and overwhelm of a cancer diagnosis and initial planning.
02
Treatment supportFrom procedure through active treatment
The regimen explained, prep and clearance, side effect management, and day-of instructions, cycle by cycle.
03
Survivorship with PROMsLonger-term recovery and survivorship
Late effects, surveillance schedules, and validated measures collected on schedule and returned to the team.
How it deploys
Issued from the workflow you already run
From the CareOrbit app, a scheduled flat file from any EHR, a patient list, a QR code, or a text message.
No new FTEs. Nothing added to anyone's day.
White-label. Your brand, your voice.
Live in a quarter. From kickoff to first patient.
The understanding gap
The key moments in between their visits.
A cancer journey runs for years across surgery, infusion, radiation, and surveillance. Those appointments carry the clinical decisions. Almost everything that determines whether the treatment works plays out in between, at home, where the service line currently has almost no presence. That is the understanding gap, and the figures below are what it costs.
What the gap costs
None of this is decided in the infusion suite. Each one turns on whether a patient understood the regimen, recognized a side effect early, or had the family member with them who manages the medications.
Years
Length of the journey
Diagnosis through treatment, recovery, and surveillance.
3+
Modalities to coordinate
Surgery, infusion, and radiation, each with its own instructions and its own side effects.
20 min
To explain all of it
The instructions are handed over in a single visit, on the day a patient is least able to take them in.
Weeks
Between appointments
Doses, side effects, and warning signs all arrive at home, where the service line has almost no presence.
Measurable ROI
How an orbit provides value.
Every orbit is built based on your target clinical and financial outcomes including revenue to protect, costs to lower, opportunities to expand and staff resources to support.
01
Fewer 30-day readmissions
The costliest between-visit failure in a surgical oncology program, and the one the trial reduced by 41%.
02
Fewer avoidable ED visits
A managed side effect at home instead of an unplanned presentation on a weekend.
03
Fewer inbound calls per episode
Nursing and navigator time is the scarcest resource in the service line. The trial returned 53% of it.
04
Protected treatment throughput
An unprepared patient delays a surgical slot, an infusion chair, or a linac hour that cannot be recovered.
05
Higher oral therapy adherence
Expensive regimens only work when they are taken correctly, and nobody sees the bottle between visits.
06
PROMs collected on schedule
Required for accreditation, quality programs, and value-based contracts, and usually chased by hand.
07
Clinical trial awareness and enrollment
Patients cannot consider a study they were never told about in language they understood.
08
Retention through survivorship
Surveillance kept on schedule, and the relationship that drives the next referral.

Clinical evidence
The study behind the numbers.
Oncology is where the platform was tested first, in a controlled trial rather than a pilot. Read the work yourself.
Controlled clinical trialSiteman Cancer Center, Washington University School of Medicine
Pancreatic Cancer Surgery Support
A controlled clinical trial in hepatobiliary surgical oncology comparing an orbit against usual care. Patients arrived better prepared, called less, and were readmitted less often. Every figure on this page comes from it.
Clinicians using orbits with their own patients, in live oncology deployments.
Patients see it as incredibly easy to understand and use. We use it to open up dialogues so much faster. Families just run with it!

20 minutes. Your oncology pain points, our platform.
No demo script, no obligation. We get introduced, hear which oncology moments are costing your team the most, and give you a brief look at the platform. Then we decide together whether it is worth a second conversation.
