Tired of Cancer B.V.

What Tired of Cancer B.V. does

Tired of Cancer B.V. is a Netherlands-based digital therapeutics company that has developed the Untire app, a CE Mark Class I registered medical device designed to help (former) cancer patients manage cancer-related fatigue (CRF). The product delivers clinically validated psychological and behavioral interventions — including mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, positive psychology, mind-body techniques, and guided physical exercises — packaged into 15 themed content modules, daily tips, and relaxation exercises that users can self-administer at their own pace. The company is headquartered in Utrecht and operates a product-led, direct-to-consumer distribution model via untire.app and mobile app stores, with localized experiences in English, Dutch, and German.

The business model is anchored on a subscription-based consumer offering: individual patients download and pay for the app without healthcare-provider intermediation, and revenue mechanics beyond app-store subscriptions are not publicly disclosed (no enterprise, payer, or B2B2C contracts are listed in the source material). The company is privately held under Dutch law (B.V., KVK 59422610), with no institutional funding rounds, parent company, or M&A activity on record. Leadership comprises founder-CEO Dr. Bram Kuiper, a clinical psychologist and former head of the Helen Dowling Institute, founder-CCO Door Vonk, plus recently added growth and marketing executives. Operations are GDPR-compliant with EU-only data hosting in ISO 27001-certified infrastructure, which positions the company for potential future health-system or payer procurement but does not yet translate into disclosed commercial channels beyond consumer self-serve.

Direct peers

• Kaia Health: Digital therapeutics company delivering app-based, self-serve interventions for chronic conditions (initially MSK pain, expanding into COPD and oncology supportive care). Highly comparable as a CE-marked, evidence-based DTx using PLG/D2C distribution and combining behavioral therapy with physical exercise, similar to Tired of Cancer's Untire.
• Sidekick Health: Digital therapeutics platform offering app-based care for chronic conditions including cancer. Combines behavior change, coaching, and education modules - directly comparable in business model, delivery mechanism, and oncology focus to Tired of Cancer's Untire app.
• Voluntis: Digital therapeutics company (now part of AptarGroup) focused on oncology and chronic disease digital companions, including cancer symptom management. Comparable as a regulated SaMD targeting oncology patients with self-serve and provider-distributed models.
• Big Health: Digital therapeutics company (Sleepio, Daylight) delivering evidence-based, CE/FDA-cleared behavioral interventions for insomnia and anxiety via self-serve apps. Comparable DTx business model combining CBT/behavioral content, regulatory clearance, and consumer-plus-B2B distribution.

• Noona Healthcare: Patient-reported outcomes and symptom management platform specifically designed for oncology patients (acquired by Elekta). Comparable oncology patient focus and digital delivery, though positioned for clinical workflows rather than consumer DTx.

Regional players

• Sanvello (Optum): Digital mental health platform (now part of Optum/UnitedHealth) offering CBT, mindfulness, and peer support primarily in the US market.
