¶ 01 Why it matters

There are many whose health conditions are left on the margins of treatment. We address critical gaps through technology.

We invest where urgent problems meet enduring solutions — from metastatic breast cancer care to new treatment modalities for Parkinson’s disease.

¶ 02 The work

Dana-Farber Breast Cancer Program

Enabling critical interventions

Optimize metastatic breast cancer clinical trials by identifying biomarkers that predict treatment response
Leverage large-scale data and artificial intelligence to predict disease recurrence and treatment response
Use liquid diagnostics for metastatic breast cancer to enable real-time treatment monitoring and develop interventions that prevent recurrence
Offer annual internal awards for innovative metastatic breast cancer research

Cedars-Sinai Parkinson’s Program

Coordinating patient care

Form and deploy a new clinical care and research team for the rollout of the Kneu Health Program
300 patients experience optimized care through the Kneu Health Program rollout
Approximately 1,000 patients experience improved continuity of care through a new hospital dashboard

Baptist Health Miami Neuroscience Institute

Providing hope for Parkinson’s disease patients

Advance clinical research to enhance treatment outcomes and develop new therapies
Deploy innovative care solutions including deep brain stimulation, AI-enabled wearables, pharmacogenomic testing, and remote monitoring
Build multidisciplinary care models and strengthen patient navigation systems
Scale community outreach and education

Field report — Healthcare

At Dana-Farber, support has built one of the world’s most comprehensive infrastructures for Stage IV breast cancer, enrolling over 4,000 patients, with an AI repository drawn from more than 20,000 patients.

At Cedars-Sinai, the Kneu Health Program is transforming Parkinson’s care through digital platforms connecting hospital and home.
