Founder Story

Born out of a dedication to better support patients

After social entrepreneur Charlie Coltman lost his best friend to pancreatic cancer in 2013, he realized that helping cancer patients and survivors was his calling. From what he witnessed, there was a huge problem in how patients and caregivers communicated with family, friends and their care teams. He was committed to creating a solution. After five years of exhaustive research and meetings with hundreds of cancer thought leaders, CancerLife was created.  It is the first cancer care platform designed to improve quality of life through a companion app and a big data reporting engine.

Charlie’s vision is getting closer to becoming reality. Someday soon, CancerLife will be the largest, unified cancer platform for patients, survivors and caregivers around the world.
