Empowering Cancer Care with AI: The Shemha Health Journey

Cancer care is personal. For the founders of Shemha Health, it’s more than just a business—it’s a deeply personal mission born out of their own experiences as a patient, caregiver, and physician. They have witnessed firsthand the delays, inefficiencies, and frustration that come with navigating cancer diagnosis and treatment. This led them to create something that could change the way the oncology journey unfolds for millions.

Enter PrOPA™, an AI-driven platform designed to guide both patients and physicians through the complexities of cancer care. In an era where time is everything, Shemha Health has built a tool that takes the guesswork out of treatment, cuts down on waiting time, and ultimately, saves lives.

But what makes PrOPA truly innovative? It’s not just another health-tech solution; it integrates real-world data with clinical guidelines, producing personalized, evidence-based treatment recommendations for each patient. Imagine having AI tailor your cancer care, reducing diagnostic delays, and streamlining the decision-making process. In fact, PrOPA has already demonstrated success—like in the case of a 57-year-old patient whose lung cancer was diagnosed and treated with an accuracy rate of 95%, leading to a better, more targeted treatment plan.

It’s this level of precision and care that makes Shemha Health a standout in oncology. Since launching, nowadays they are partnering in clinical validation with leading cancer centers across Europe, receiving widespread recognitions in Europe, US and Asia, including the prestigious “Startup of the Year” award from Forbes Bulgaria. Their tele-oncology platform has already improved the lives of over 180 patients, proving that their solution has the power to disrupt traditional cancer care models.

What’s more, their future is looking bright. With plans to expand across Europe and beyond, including emerging markets in Africa and the Middle East, Shemha Health is positioning itself as a global leader in digital oncology. Their goal? To integrate PrOPA into 30 cancer centers by 2029, revolutionizing cancer care on a global scale.

Shemha Health’s journey isn’t just about technology—it’s about hope. The company CEO as a breast cancer survivor put it, “PrOPA gave me hope when I needed it most. The platform provided clear, personalised insights into my treatment options, which helped me make informed decisions.” This blend of cutting-edge AI and compassionate care is what sets Shemha Health apart, ensuring that patients receive not only efficient care but also the emotional support they deserve.

And this is just the beginning. As Shemha Health continues to innovate and grow, they remain committed to one thing—making a real difference in the fight against cancer.  Learn how on their website https://shemhahealth.com/en/
