THE CHALLENGE
When everyday tasks become never-y day tasks.
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) can turn driving, buttoning a shirt or holding a cup into a painful challenge. But many healthcare professionals don’t fully realize how deeply CIPN can disrupt a patient’s daily life. Athenex Oncology needed to make that invisible burden understood.

OUR APPROACH
We put the patient experience in their hands.
We transformed an often-overlooked side effect into an experience healthcare professionals could see, feel and remember.

We put the patient experience in their hands.
We transformed an often-overlooked side effect into a tangible experience for healthcare professionals.

We engineered empathy.
We developed the world’s first CIPN empathy glove, engineered to simulate the sensations associated with the condition.

We created a memorable experience.
At the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, healthcare professionals wore the glove while attempting everyday tasks, giving them a firsthand understanding of how disruptive CIPN can be.

“I had no idea CIPN was this disruptive to everyday life.”
