Doesn’t my oncologist’s office already provide something like this?

What can Ardynn do for me that I cannot research and do for myself?
Ardynn provides expert advocacy that goes beyond what most individuals can easily find or do on their own. Our advocates use their years of experience, and access to Ardynn’s Clinical Advisors, to streamline the process of researching cancer treatments, side effects, clinical trials, and second opinions, saving you time and ensuring no critical information is missed including that associated with your specific cancer diagnosis.
Additionally, our advocates have access toCapire360, a treatment decision support tool, to deliver personalized insights based on outcomes from “people like you”, offering tailored, nuanced information not easily accessible through online searches.

Throughout your journey, Ardynn allows you to focus on your well-being. We are there to help navigate all aspects of your care and daily life, and anticipate needs before they present themselves.
Can advocates help me find and vet alternative treatments?
Yes, though alternative treatments are not included in the Capire360 models, our advocates have the clinical literacy to help research and find credible information about any treatments or alternative treatments you may be considering. While they’re not medical professionals and do not provide clinical advice, they’ll work alongside you to ensure you have the resources to explore and discuss options and confidently make decisions with your care team.
What else can my Ardynn advocate do for me?
They are trained to act as a liaison between patients and healthcare providers to ensure effective communication and understanding.
