Osara Health

What Osara Health does

Osara Health (formerly CancerAid, founded 2016 by Dr. Raghav Murali Ganesh and Tim Atkins) is a privately held digital health company that delivers evidence-based cancer support through a B2B2C model in which employers and insurers pay for programs that their employees or members access. The platform combines one-on-one human health coaching with a mobile and web application (iOS/Android) that supports symptom tracking, goal setting, and delivery of personalized educational content. Core products include the Cancer Coach program, the Cancer Caregivers program, and Survivorship Modules launched in June 2026 to extend support beyond active treatment into post-treatment life. A separate Workplace Training offering targets organizational readiness.

Underlying technology includes the Osara Health App (mobile/web), structured coaching session management, an Aware health-assessment questionnaire with SwiftDoc appointment booking, and AI-assisted call summarization delivered through a third-party processor (Heidi Health) operating under ISO 27001:2022, ISO 42001, and SOC 2 Type 2 controls. Osara itself maintains SOC 2 Type 2 (December 2023) and ISO 27001:2022 certifications. The company's evidence base comprises 11 peer-reviewed academic publications, including a PROMIS-10 study in JMIR Cancer (May 2026) demonstrating statistically significant improvements in physical (4.43 T-score points) and mental (4.58 T-score points) health.

Commercially, Osara contracts with life, health, and disability insurers (Manulife Canada, MetLife, Guardian, Allstate Benefits, AIA Australia, nib, ClearView, Fidelity Life, Medibank, Resolution Life) and large employers (MinterEllison, Lendlease, AGL Energy, CCEP Australia, NSW Government, TelstraSuper, Aon NZ, IBM, CBA Group). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows multi-year subscription contracts. The company reports millions of people have access to its programs across Australia, the United States, Canada, and New Zealand, with offices in Eveleigh (HQ), New York City, Toronto, and New Zealand. Headcount is 51–100; total disclosed equity funding is approximately $951,547 (2016 seed) plus a 2021 round led by Boson Ventures and a 2024 non-dilutive MRFF grant.

• Virta Health: Digital coaching and remote-care platform focused on chronic conditions (type 2 diabetes, obesity); directly comparable B2B2C coaching-led model sold to employers and insurers, though in a different therapeutic area.

Broad incumbents

• Sword Health: Digital MSK and pelvic-health platform with AI-assisted clinician support; comparable as a digital coaching company selling B2B to employers and health plans, though operating at significantly larger scale and in a different clinical area.
• Included Health: Virtual care and navigation platform sold to employers and insurers covering a wide range of conditions including cancer; comparable buyer profile and B2B2C delivery, but operates as a broad navigation incumbent rather than a cancer specialist.

Emerging players
