Ribbon HealthCare

Ribbon is a DIGITAL HEALTH social enterprise that puts PATIENT FIRST.

When you’re diagnosed with a chronic condition, the burden often falls on you to be your own advocate, and you resort to a Google search to learn about your condition and what ultimately can be done to help. Looking for treatment recommendations, clinical trials, and questions to ask your doctor can be both confusing and misleading, leaving you with even more questions and an unimaginable sense of anxiety.

Ribbon digital solutions originated directly from this patient insight. We meet you where you are clinically in your diagnosis, physically, and emotionally.

Our Mission

We’re here to help people with chronic diseases and those supporting them to make the down days more manageable – and make the up days come more often through knowledge derived from shared real-world experience and outcomes.

Core Values

Our values are our compass.

Patient First

Patients are our north star in everything we do. We do right for our patients and always ask ourselves how this will improve outcomes for patients. We will insure everything we do, every decision we make, puts the patients first.

Equity

We are about democratizing healthcare. We care about equity and recognize that each person has different circumstances. We therefore aim to allocate the resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome for patients across the world and for our own team.

Do well while doing good

We want to do well while doing good. Success and profits are important but not at any cost. To deliver on our mission to empower patients, it is important to build a sustainable business model.

Data Driven

We are evidence-based. Opinions are important and we always encourage dialogue, but we use data for our decision-making.

Relentless with a Sense of Urgency

We are hungry and scrappy. We never give up; we are entrepreneurial. We are relentless and battle through, around, and over obstacles. We act with a sense of urgency. When there are diverse points of view, it is important not to only raise issues but bring solutions. We default to yes or “we’ll figure it out” vs. no or no action.

Results through Teamwork

We are one team that focuses on results. The whole is more important than the individual pieces. We are all players and coaches. We learn from each other. We have a bias to action which means speed over perfection. Meritocracy matters. To be on our team, you need to deliver results and impact. Activity is a means to an end and not the end itself. We invest in learning and development. We challenge each other to become the best version of ourselves. We have a winning culture that loves to win together.

Our Flagship Care Ecosystem: Ribbon for Cancer

Unfortunately, cancer has affected family members of each of Ribbon’s founders. During their experiences as caregivers, they found it impossible to find reliable medical information or communities of people sharing their experiences. This was the catalyst in founding Ribbon.

Living with cancer doesn’t have to be isolating and overwhelming. Whether patients are ready or not, a diagnosis is often the beginning of a journey that lasts the rest of their life. This journey is rarely easy. To navigate the road ahead, patients will need a guide. A guide that can explain the patient’s diagnosis, symptoms, and treatments, and what all these things mean for their health. A guide that is always alert to new developments and to a patient’s changing needs. A guide that is available whenever and however a patient needs them. And a guide that knows that every patient is also a person.

Ribbon for Cancer is our flagship solution. An AI based social and medical platform for cancer patients and caregivers, in MENA region, built to educate, empower, and engage them to become advocates for their cancer care in order to improve outcomes and reduce costs.

Ribbon leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to positively impact care and accelerate research. The platform enables cancer patients to make decisions and achieve better outcomes by analyzing their health information and providing them with personalized options for approved treatments and clinical trials. Moreover, users are provided with tools to track their treatments, symptoms and outcomes.

The platform also harnesses regulatory-grade, real-world data and patient experiences, generating deeper insights and better outcomes to improve care and accelerate research. Scientific research based on real-world data acquired through Ribbon will be published and presented at leading health events. This data is anonymous and aggregated, safeguarding our users’ privacy at all times.
