Frequently asked questions
- What is Arc-CRC and how is it different from general cancer apps?
Arc-CRC is a dedicated colorectal cancer digital companion built specifically for people diagnosed with colon and rectal cancer. Unlike general cancer apps that cover multiple cancer types broadly, Arc-CRC is built exclusively around the realities of colon and rectal cancer – combining personalised AI-driven guidance, scientifically validated content, real-world health tracking, and a supportive patient community, all within a single secure platform.
- I was just diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer. Where do I even begin?
A diagnosis of colon or rectal cancer can feel overwhelming. Arc-CRC is designed to support you from day one – helping you understand your diagnosis, what your stage and molecular markers mean, what treatment options are available, and what questions to ask your oncologist. You are not alone, and you do not have to figure this out without support.
- Is Arc-CRC a certified medical device?
Yes. Arc-CRC is developed to meet the standards of a Class I medical device under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), with CE certification as a core milestone in our development roadmap. This means Arc-CRC is not a general wellness app – it is being built to the rigorous clinical and technical standards that patient safety demands.
- Can Arc-CRC match me to clinical trials based on my specific mutation or molecular profile?
Yes. Arc-CRC continuously maps your unique profile, including your diagnosis, cancer stage, molecular markers such as KRAS, BRAF, MSI-high, and treatment history, against active clinical trials worldwide, notifying you the moment a relevant opportunity emerges. Because the right trial, matched to your specific biology, could change everything.
- How does Arc-CRC protect my personal health data?
Your privacy and security are at the heart of everything we build. Arc-CRC is developed in full compliance with GDPR and in alignment with the EU AI Act, incorporating the latest standards in data security, encryption, and patient confidentiality. We are also working towards HIPAA alignment to ensure Arc-CRC meets international healthcare data protection standards. Your data is yours – always secure, always protected.
- What languages is Arc-CRC available in?
Arc-CRC will launch initially in English, with additional European Union languages to follow in subsequent releases. Our goal is to ensure that every colorectal cancer patient across Europe can access Arc-CRC in their own language, removing barriers to support and information at every stage of the journey.
- Where can I download Arc-CRC?
Arc-CRC will be available to download on both iOS and Android platforms, ensuring accessibility for the widest possible range of patients. Details on availability and launch dates will be announced on our website and through our community channels.
- Where can I find other people going through colorectal cancer treatment?
Arc-CRC's Community Forum and Private Chat connect colon and rectal cancer patients with others who truly understand, because they are walking the same path. With anonymous avatars protecting each patient's identity, you choose how much to share and with whom, in a safe space built entirely around mutual support and shared experience.
- How do I find a colorectal cancer specialist for a second opinion?
Seeking a second opinion is one of the most important steps a cancer patient can take. Arc-CRC gives you direct access to a curated database of leading oncologists specialising in colon and rectal cancer, making it easier than ever to find the right specialist, so you can approach every treatment decision from a place of knowledge and confidence.
- How does Arc-CRC use artificial intelligence to support cancer patients?
Arc-CRC harnesses the latest advances in generative and agentic AI to deliver a genuinely personalised experience for every patient. Rather than offering generic information, Arc-CRC's AI continuously learns from your unique profile – your diagnosis, molecular markers, treatment history, and real-world health data – translating complex medical information into clear, actionable insight. The result is a platform that empowers patients to understand their own data, ask better questions, and make truly informed decisions about their care.
