Two patient-selected honors highlight Manta's deep impact in cancer care and coincide with Manta's graduation from the CancerX Accelerator
SAN FRANCISCO, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Manta Cares, a digital health company transforming the cancer experience, today announced it has been honored with two national awards that recognize innovation rooted in empathy, dignity, and lived experience:
- Advocate Health's #LovedOneStandard Award, a recognition selected by cancer patients at the CancerX Innovation Jam. The award celebrates health solutions that meaningfully support not only patients but the families and loved ones who walk alongside them.
- The Corinne Leach Patient Experience Award, from CancerX's 2025 Accelerator Showcase, recognizing startups driven by empathy, compassion, and dignity in patient care.
Both awards were selected by patients, caregivers, clinicians, and community leaders, underscoring Manta's unique position as a platform built by and for those directly affected by cancer.
Manta Cares offers a free, HIPAA-compliant digital platform that helps patients and their care partners navigate the complexity of cancer, from tracking symptoms, medications and appointments to managing treatment decisions and daily logistics. More than 6,000 individuals have already used Manta to bring structure, clarity, and confidence to a time that often feels anything but.
"These recognitions mean the world to us because it comes directly from patients and community members," said Samira Daswani, Founder and CEO of Manta Cares. "At Manta, we've always believed that the strongest solutions don't just track care, they reshape it. These awards are validation that when you build with patients, families, and care teams at the center, you create tools that feel like lifelines."
The company also celebrated its graduation from the CancerX Accelerator, a groundbreaking public-private partnership hosted by the Moffitt Cancer Center and launched in collaboration with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) as part of the InnovationX program. CancerX was created to tackle the intractable challenges faced by patients and families living with cancer.
