Shape the Face of Cancer Treatment at Luminate Medical

At Luminate, our mission is to make cancer care more human. We design and build technologies that help oncologists make cancer care better, faster, and safer for patients.

Our first two products, Lily and Lilac, are revolutionary wearable devices designed to address hair loss and peripheral neuropathy, respectively – two of the most common and difficult side effects of cancer treatment. We have an exciting pipeline focused on building products that help cancer patients to live, not just survive. Our latest product, Lotus, enables at-home administration of low-risk anti-cancer drugs.
