Coreo, Inc.

From the Frontlines of Cancer Care — Patients & Caregivers One of the most sobering things we’ve heard while building Coreo is this: When no one clearly owns the next step, patients and families become the safety net. Across interviews with patients, survivors, and caregivers, a consistent pattern emerged: They were the ones keeping care connected. • tracking what each doctor said or ordered • following up on tests, referrals, and results • carrying information between specialists and institutions • pushing for answers when something felt wrong • searching on their own for support that should have been built into care Even in highly regarded cancer centers, people described fragmented communication, inconsistent navigation, disconnected portals, and survivorship support that was not proactive or clearly mapped. Caregivers described having to actively intervene to get urgent needs addressed, often without clear guidance and while carrying the emotional weight of uncertainty. What patients and families are carrying is not just logistics. It is time. It is fear. It is emotional labor. It is the risk of something important falling through the cracks. Cancer is hard enough. Patients and caregivers should not have to function as the coordination layer of the health system. This is the work we’re focused on at Coreo. #CancerCare #Oncology #PatientExperience #CareCoordination #PatientSafety #Caregivers

From the Frontlines of Cancer Care — Care Teams One of the most important parts of building Coreo has been listening to oncology nurse navigators and care teams working inside cancer care every day. Across these conversations, a consistent theme emerges: “We know what needs to happen — but ensuring it actually happens is where it gets difficult.” Delays don’t usually come from clinical decision-making. They come from everything around it: • waiting on insurance authorizations for imaging and treatment • coordinating across multiple specialists and care settings • tracking whether orders, referrals, and follow-ups were completed • piecing together information across disconnected systems In many cases, care teams described acting as the glue holding everything together — manually tracking, following up, and advocating to keep care moving forward. As one navigator shared, even when urgency is clear, the system often creates friction: “You’re racing against time — but still waiting.” Much of this work is invisible. It doesn’t appear in documentation or metrics — but it shapes timelines, patient safety, and the experience of care. Improving cancer outcomes isn’t only about better treatments. It’s also about supporting the people responsible for making care happen — and ensuring the system works with them, not against them. This is the work we’re focused on at Coreo. #CancerCare #Oncology #CareCoordination #PatientSafety #NurseNavigators #HealthSystems

Cancer care delays are often discussed as scheduling or operational challenges. But the consequences are far more serious. Research published in BMJ found that even a four-week delay in cancer treatment is associated with increased mortality across several major cancers and treatment modalities — with mortality risk increasing approximately 6–8% for each additional four weeks of delay. Many of these delays are not clinical decisions — they are coordination failures. Yet cancer care is one of the most complex coordination challenges in medicine: • multiple specialties • multiple institutions • diagnostic steps, imaging, pathology • treatment sequencing • patients and families navigating fragmented systems When coordination breaks down, time is lost. Improving cancer outcomes is often framed around new therapies. But system design matters too. Ensuring patients move safely and efficiently from diagnosis to treatment may be one of the most important — and under-discussed — determinants of survival. This issue is one of the reasons I began building Coreo. It’s a conversation the oncology community needs to continue having. #Oncology #CancerCare #PatientSafety #CareCoordination #HealthcareTransformation #HealthcareInnovation

Behind every healthcare company is a story. Coreo began with a deeply personal experience that revealed how dangerous communication gaps in cancer care can be. That experience continues to shape our mission to ensure no critical moment in care is missed. Across the cancer journey, patients, families, and clinicians often carry invisible coordination burden — bridging gaps between information, teams, and time-sensitive decisions. Coreo was built to make those moments visible, connected, and supported. We are committed to building technology that strengthens care, supports clinicians, and helps patients navigate one of the most complex experiences of their lives with greater clarity and continuity. This work is deeply personal — and deeply necessary. #CancerCare #CareCoordination #DigitalHealth #PatientSafety #CommunicationInCare #OncologyInnovation

One of the most overlooked drivers of risk and cost in cancer care is not clinical — it is communication. When care teams operate across disconnected systems and settings, critical moments can be delayed or lost. Patients and families often become the coordinators of last resort, while clinicians carry invisible coordination burden. Coreo is focused on closing these gaps — making coordination visible, strengthening communication, and supporting care teams with timely, actionable insight. Because in cancer care, timing, clarity, and connection save lives. #CancerCare #CommunicationInCare #DigitalHealth #HealthSystems #PatientExperience

We are honored to share that Coreo has been selected to participate in Health Engine Cohort X, the UC Berkeley–based accelerator supporting high-impact healthcare innovation. This program brings together innovators, clinicians, and investors committed to advancing meaningful transformation in healthcare. Through Health Engine, we will continue strengthening Coreo’s mission to improve communication, coordination, and safety across the cancer care journey — ensuring critical moments in care do not get missed. We are grateful for the opportunity and excited for what lies ahead. #HealthEngine #UCBerkeley #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #OncologyCare #StartupJourney

Coreo was founded to solve one of the most persistent and preventable challenges in cancer care: fragmented communication and disconnected coordination. Across the oncology journey, critical information is often delayed, responsibility is unclear, and patients and care teams are left to bridge gaps themselves. These breakdowns contribute to avoidable harm, rising cost, and missed opportunities for timely intervention. Coreo is building intelligent, real-time coordination tools that help make care visible, proactive, and connected — supporting oncology teams, nurse navigators, patients, and caregivers across the full care continuum. We’re proud to begin sharing our work and mission with the broader healthcare community. #OncologyCare #DigitalHealth #CareCoordination #HealthcareInnovation #PatientSafety
