[Thorofare, NJ] March 2025 – Healio, a global information platform for healthcare professionals, is pleased to announce its partnership with CancerX, a public-private collaboration dedicated to the acceleration of innovation in cancer treatment. Healio has been selected as the official media partner for the CancerX 2025 Accelerator cohort, a group of innovative digital health and artificial intelligence startups focused on addressing critical challenges in oncology.
The CancerX Accelerator program connects unmet needs within Champion organizations with cutting-edge innovations from startups in the field. Startups within the Accelerator cohort may be championed by one or more organizations and receive a range of support, from mentorship and product feedback to conducting pilots and signing commercial agreements. The four-month program also provides a weekly curriculum that educates startups on working with health systems, industry, and the public sector and how to scale their business within oncology.
This year’s cohort will focus on advancing cancer care by improving access to treatment, accelerating clinical trials and providing personalized, connected care for patients beyond the clinic. Healio will highlight these breakthroughs and achievements through exclusive, in-depth interviews with the 2025 Accelerator cohort members and the four alumni groups from last year’s program.
“Healio is honored to be chosen as a Champion and serve as the CancerX Accelerator Media Partner. We’re excited to share the groundbreaking innovations created by the 2025 Accelerator Cohort with the wider oncology community,” said Joan-Marie Stiglich, ELS, Chief Content Officer, Healio.
