Founded in 2019, iOWNA was inspired by Professor Millicent Stone and her personal journey with her daughter, Grace, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Despite Professor Stones extensive medical background, she faced significant challenges in finding timely and relevant information to aid her daughter, highlighting a common issue for many patients.

This experience spurred her to create a digital solution to streamline healthcare communication, leading  to the birth of iOWNA.  Today,  iOWNA has evolved into a robust collective of healthcare leaders, clinicians, entrepreneurs, and technologists dedicated to enhancing patient care and outcomes.

Comparable to the Microsoft operating system for healthcare professionals, iOWNA is a proven, user-friendly platform that facilitates seamless information exchange between professionals and their patients.

As a digital companion to treatment pathways, iOWNA provides an intuitive interface, PROMs and patient data, asynchronous communication, secure cloud-based technology, and valuable clinical insights, ultimately striving to help people live longer, healthier lives.
