Carer
In India and other emerging markets, cancer care often places heavy emotional, physical, and financial pressure on patients and families, while insurers and health systems lack the data needed to predict risk and intervene early.
A personalised, more holistic cancer care model
Carer is an oncology intelligence platform purpose-built for insurers, helping them predict cancer risk, forecast patient deterioration, and reduce costs through one shared engine. Founded by Samara Mahindra after the loss of her mother to cancer, the company was created to address the challenges her own family experienced: the impact of treatment costs, declining quality of life, and the need for better support throughout the cancer journey. Built with a deliberate focus on clinical evidence, Carer has taken a patient, science-led path to create a solution grounded in real-world outcomes.
Oncology intelligence platform using real-world data
Carer’s innovation is powered by a proprietary 10+ year longitudinal oncology dataset, built from 200,000 real-world patient journeys and 4.9 million data points across more than 40 cancer types. Unlike traditional clinical datasets, Carer captures lifestyle, behavioural, emotional, and socioeconomic signals that strongly influence patient outcomes but are rarely collected by hospitals or insurers.
Its AI engine uses this data to predict patient deterioration up to 90 days in advance with over 85% accuracy, while supporting both prevention through pre-diagnosis risk stratification and care through post-diagnosis monitoring. This enables insurers and public health systems to move from reactive cancer care towards earlier, more personalised intervention.
