Our Story
Onviv began with a spark—a passion for change that was ignited among our co-founders after witnessing the significant need for reliable and easily accessible clinical information and professional advice. They then developed a solution to benefit patients, doctors, and the overall healthcare industry.
IT STARTED WITH ONE DIAGNOSIS…
After his father’s cancer diagnosis, Jeff Meehan, our CEO, experienced the depth of uncertainty and confusion that follows this life-changing news—as it does for countless patients and their loved ones. Through this journey with his father, Jeff realized that access to specialists can significantly impact diagnosis and treatment. When important health decisions can be made faster and more efficiently, better health outcomes are possible. With this in mind, he sought a more personalized and accessible approach to patient care.
… AND ONE WORLD-RENOWNED MELANOMA SPECIALIST
As a practicing oncologist, Dr Sanjiv Agarwala, our President and CMO, observed the impact of a fundamentally fragmented medical communication infrastructure—an uphill battle to reach clinical and academic progress. Dr Agarwala realized that modern medicine needed to optimize physician collaboration on patient cases to holistically integrate new data into clinical practice and improve overall health outcomes. He posited that the solution would foster diverse clinician-industry collaborations to holistically address each patient’s needs.
RAPID, VIRTUAL CONNECTION: A POWERFUL TOOL FOR CHANGE
Brainstorming together, Meehan and Agarwala envisioned a new future of virtual medical communication that—by bypassing unsustainable and unnecessary face-to-face meetings—could enable brilliant medical minds to readily share practice-changing data.
Harnessing remote communication technology unlocked a faster, more efficient means for global experts to connect with oncologists and patients. In an industry that fundamentally depends on effective communication, these technological advances have established a catalytic foundation to revolutionize expert knowledge exchange.
Continuing to Excel and Evolve
Cancer Expert Now began in 2015, directly connecting world-renowned cancer experts to patients and network physicans. In the years following, NoeticInsight was born with a similar purpose—to provide life-science clients with rapid access to this distinct and distinguished network of experts. And now, the structural evolution of our business inaugurates the new future of health and life science innovation…
