C the Signs
AI technology, data and the latest research to find cancer at the earliest
How does it work?
C The Signs is fighting cancer with early diagnosis.
The platform gives healthcare professionals the confidence that they are doing the best possible for their patients and reassures patients that their clinicians are giving them the best chance of survival. C the Signs, available on smartphones and as a website, allows GPs to enter patients’ symptoms and see what tests or urgent referrals the patient may need in under 30 seconds.
Why is it needed?
Cancer survival rates are directly linked to the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis. Late-stage diagnosis not only reduces the length of a patient’s life but also significantly impacts its quality. With 1 in 2 people diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives, it’s essential to prioritise early diagnosis – and that’s precisely what C the Sign system supports.
How does it improve life?
Cancer affects 1 in 2 people, crossing countries, boundaries, ethnicities and languages. As the company aspires to create a future where every patient lives the life they planned and survives cancer, it will also focus on reducing inequalities in cancer outcomes. Consequently, the challenge of tackling inequities is to access diagnostics and cancer care to ensure every patient has the best chance to survive cancer.
C the Signs team reflects these values, a global community from different backgrounds, ethnicities and spoken languages, living and working in different countries and continents, yet, together and connected, with a single purpose and a single mission.
