Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Entia have developed a hand-held blood testing kit that can be used at home by chemotherapy patients to tailor treatment to their specific needs.

Its monitor can reduce cancellations for chemotherapy appointments and limit hospital visits just for blood count checks. And that means there are more chemotherapy slots for other people awaiting urgent treatment.

Using the monitor not only ensures that clinical pathways are fashioned around the individual’s needs but it also achieves a significant reduction in healthcare spending.

After forming a partnership with Pfizer UK and using some of its latest funding on creating Entia Liberty - the virtual oncology solution, the company is focused on offering virtual monitoring service being made available in the UK for metastatic breast cancer patients, pending the usual regulatory approval.
