Astir is a non-invasive treatment device and platform concept that improves and maintains a high quality of life in cancer patients. Astir seeks to reduce the physical demands of current cancer treatment options with wireless and wearable technology while simultaneously improving and maintaining the user’s quality of life through a companion application that generates user insights, provides operant conditioning, and relates to the user through a targeted storyline.

This product incorporates things like the Astir Puck, a wireless user operated device that is placed on the skin nearest to the tumor site before treatment. The puck delivers TTF therapy via ultrasound waves and monitors any changes that may take place over time.

The Astir digital platform, provides users with insight and control while on their treatment journey. This tool also provides users the ability to connect and support others who are going through the same thing with the use of its social engagement capabilities.
