Cherub
Cherub are redefining the way prescriptions are written and managed, to ensure every patient is on the right medication.
$500 billion are spent annually in the US alone on therapy that is non-optimised. Medical professionals lack the information and the time needed to offer tailored medication regimes to their patients. Polypharmacy, the practice of taking multiple medications concurrently, can carry risks. Patients may have worse health outcomes due to drug interactions, side effects, and complications. Clinicians have more work, and less time, as a result.
Cherub are paving the way to personalised medicine. Their SaaS brick works in tandem with existing electronic health record solutions, to redefine the prescriber workflow and make it 10x faster and more effective. Whilst allowing clinicians to passively structure healthcare data, they combine electronic health records with a rich drug efficacy dataset to optimise patients’ current and new prescriptions.
