Healthcare tracks what happens to patients. Not what it's like to be one.
Two people who lived that gap built Ember. The companion families use is free. The record it builds is the business.
Ember exists because we lived this.
Jason lost his wife, Tracy. Angeline lost her mother, Lupe. We met in a support group. The system tracked every scan and every lab, and none of what it was actually like to be there at 2 a.m., holding all of it.
Same illness. Two completely different records.
What the chart holds
- Scheduled visits
- Treatment decisions
- Chart entries and claims
- Structured, measured moments
What Ember sees
- 2 a.m. fear and searching
- The wait for pathology
- Explaining it to the kids
- Deciding when enough is enough
Claims and surveys sit downstream of the chart. Ember sits upstream — a blind spot the industry puts north of $100B a year.
A free companion, and the record it builds.
Free for any family facing cancer, reviewed by neuro-oncologists, there the moment a diagnosis lands.
"It's like having someone sit with you after the appointment when everything finally hits."

Every conversation, de-identified to HIPAA Safe Harbor, becomes Ember Signal — the record pharma, payers, and researchers pay for, at $100K to $1M+ per program. That's why the companion is free, and stays free.
