You already know someone who suffered for no good reason.
We built Vana Healthcare because we couldn't keep pretending that suffering was normal. We're working toward quality healthcare for everyone — and it starts with people like you deciding to make a change, a step in the right direction.
Takes 30 seconds. Costs nothing.
Somewhere, right now, someone you love is facing their healthcare journey alone — failed by a system that was supposed to help.
Not by doctors who don't care. By a system that was never built to care back.
Most of us learned to look past this. Not because we're cruel — because looking at it straight on, every day, would be unbearable. So we go numb. We scroll past. We tell ourselves someone else is handling it.
No one is handling it. That's the part we stopped being able to ignore.
Simple enough to explain in three sentences. Because it should be.
You don't have to understand biotech. You just have to be willing to show up for yourself, a little, every day. We'll handle the rest — starting with Vana, the daily companion that makes it easy.
Check in with Vana
A friendly daily check-in on symptoms, meds, and labs — thirty seconds, not a survey. Vana remembers, so you don't have to repeat yourself.
Vana builds your record
Every check-in becomes part of one connected, plain-language record — replacing the dozen disconnected portals you're used to.
You decide what's shared
Nothing leaves your record without your say-so. Consent is granted per data type — labs, meds, symptoms — and you can revoke it anytime.
Your data can help close the gap for others
With your consent, it can support research and drug development that's never had real access to people like you. Free to you — funded by the partners who license it, not by you.
Your figure, right on your home screen
The idea: your figure's condition mirrors yours. Run a fever, wake up with a headache, feel it in your joints — it shows up right where you feel it, with your temperature and how it's been trending. Every symptom you tap becomes part of the record that helps you, and the research that could help someone else.
Synced with your wearables. Glucose monitors, smartwatches, rings — the numbers you're already generating, pulled into one simple view instead of five different apps.
Yours to make yours. Later, choose their hair, skin tone, clothing, and more — the same way you'd pick a character in a game, except this one is actually you.
Someone to talk to. Vana isn't just a data form — it's a check-in on how you're actually doing, with support for the harder days too.
Conceptual mockup — current design in progress, not yet available.
You're the reason any of this works.
Every treatment that's ever reached a pharmacy shelf started with a patient who trusted someone else with their information — and usually never heard about it again. We think that's backwards. Here's what this actually costs, from three sides of the same problem.
Every new specialist means repeating your story from scratch — symptoms, timelines, medications, all of it, again. Vana Healthcare means you tell it once.
You're the one holding the binder, the portal logins, the timeline no single doctor has time to read in full. Vana Healthcare keeps it in one place — built for you, not just about the person you're caring for.
Researchers studying rare and complex conditions have always needed real-world, longitudinal patient data. It's existed the whole time — just never connected, never consented at the source, never actually accessible. Vana Healthcare is how that changes.
We're beginning with people living with blood cancers and the conditions that precede them — but we're not stopping there
Starting focused means we can build something that genuinely works for one group before we widen it, rather than something shallow for everyone. If you're living with something else, tell us anyway — where we go next depends on who shows up.
Built for cancer first — one community at a time.
Cancer is where the need is sharpest: people live with it for years, treatment changes constantly, and nobody is watching the days in between. We start with one group and widen along the paths that actually connect.
Myeloma & the conditions that precede it
Multiple myeloma, along with MGUS and smoldering myeloma — the years of watch-and-wait monitoring that come long before, and long after, a diagnosis of active disease. It's a small, closely-followed community with a genuine gap between appointments.
Related blood cancers — leukemia & lymphoma
CLL, lymphoma, and neighbouring diagnoses. These share the same hematology teams, the same referral networks, and many of the same newer treatments as myeloma — which means the app, the community, and the clinical relationships all extend naturally rather than starting over.
Breast cancer & other long-journey cancers
Breast cancer has the largest population of people living for years on ongoing therapy, alongside prostate cancer and others where monitoring stretches over a decade. It's the biggest version of the same problem we'll have already solved at smaller scale.
Quality healthcare for everyone — funded by data, not premiums
This is the destination the phases above are building toward, not a day-one promise: a funded, insurer-backed model where the value of your own consented data helps cover the cost of your care, instead of a monthly bill.
Ownership isn't a slogan here — it's how the product works
Every design decision starts from one rule: it's your data, so you decide.
You approve every share, every time — not a blanket privacy setting, an actual decision you make.
Encrypted, and never sold. Vana doesn't make money by selling your data to advertisers or brokers.
Leave anytime, no penalty. Delete your data or close your account whenever you want — no dark patterns.
Free to you, because pharma funds it. Vana Healthcare doesn't charge patients. Research and pharma partners pay for consented, de-identified insights — only with your explicit permission.
"I didn't start this because I had a clever business idea. I started it because I got tired of watching people I love get failed by a system that was never built for them, and feeling like there was nothing I could personally do about it.
There is something we can do. Not overnight. Not alone. But if enough of us decide our health information is worth something — worth using on our own behalf, for once — we can build the kind of leverage that's never existed before: real people, real data, real consent, aimed at the actual problem instead of around it.
I don't know exactly how long this takes. I know it doesn't happen if we wait for someone else to start."
Why give your data
Vana Healthcare might not undo years of searching for the right diagnosis. But the data you choose to share today could be the reason someone else's search takes months, not years. Reducing suffering in healthcare, one consented data point at a time — that's the whole point.

Is my data ever sold? +
No. Never. Vana Healthcare doesn't make money by selling personal data to advertisers, employers, or insurers. Research partners pay for consented, de-identified insights — and only for the data you've explicitly approved. Our full data policy will be published here before the app launches.
Do I have to share everything? +
No — you choose exactly what's shared and with whom, section by section. You can share your medication history with a researcher and nothing else, for example.
Is Vana a hospital or insurance company? +
No. Vana doesn't provide medical care or coverage. Think of it as your own health data home base that sits alongside your existing care team.
What if I have a common condition, not a rare one? +
Vana works for anyone who wants to own and understand their health data. Rare and complex conditions are where we started — not where we stop.
How is my data kept secure? +
We're building this in from day one, not bolting it on later: HIPAA-aligned infrastructure, encryption at rest and in transit, and a signed data agreement with every partner before any data moves. A SOC 2 audit is part of our early roadmap. We're pre-launch — this is the standard we're building to, and we'd rather say that plainly than claim a certification we don't have yet.
