Imagine a platform where technology and compassionate care converge. This episode is a deep dive into that very space. We’re joined by Ani, the visionary founder of Vann, a cancer support app created from her own personal experience.
Incubated at Oxford University Innovation, Vann combines support for patients during and after diagnosis. The platform provides not only support and information for patients, but for any individual or group looking to signpost anyone who wants to understand how to manage their relationship with someone who has cancer. The app gathers data that is also used to track the impact of treatments with the possibility of giving researchers what they need know to engineer new treatments.

Discover:

  • Ani’s background in forestry, international relations and business
  • How she was diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer after been accepted to Said Business School, Oxford University
  • How she started Vann after a second diagnosis of cancer in 2019
  • How she began Vann to contribute to cancer research and create a community for sufferers
  • How much she has learnt about herself and her community with the advent of the illness
  • How she established the Ani Haykuni Cancer Treatment Support Foundation in her home country of Armenia
  • How Vann is designed to be a bridge between patients, previous sufferers, and stakeholders such as research organisations, biotech, pharma and hospitals
  • How the app provides motivational material based on diagnosis and treatment
  • How their user surveys provide insights for future cancer research
  • How the platform encourages small acts of kindness for sufferers and supporters
  • How the future of Vann is collaborations with research teams and organisations that involve their users
  • How they plan to use the data to align users with similar experience to further their research
  • How they’re working to increase visibility of cancer clinical trials
  • How she applied and was successful with an incubator program at Oxford University Innovation
  • How they have and continue to receive funding to expand Vann
