Daiichi Sankyo Germany seeks to support cancer care in a collaboration with Prosoma by increasing awareness of their digital app ‘Living Well’ which aims to provide a comprehensive programme supporting the mental health of people recently diagnosed with cancer or undergoing treatment
Munich– (November 2nd, 2022) – Daiichi Sankyo Germany has taken a vital step towards attempting to improve patient care through a recent partnership with Prosoma, a digital therapeutics company specialising in oncology. The partnership intends to promote the use of Prosoma’s digital health app called ‘Living Well’ by reaching out to and generating awareness among the oncology community. ‘Living Well’ is a CE-certified application designed to improve patients’ quality of life and reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression associated with cancer diagnosis and treatment at various stages of cancer.1 The certification ensures adherence with highest European standards.
“Doing more for patients by expanding our partnerships with providers of support services that can help make a difference in patients’ lives is of the utmost importance for us”, said Dr. Martina Witzel, Head of Oncology Germany. “We believe that there is still a high unmet need for mental health support services and that Prosoma is the right partner to help reduce the mental burden for patients.” In order to promote the ‘Living Well’ app best, the Daiichi Sankyo Germany will generate awareness among the oncology community digitally, at national conferences, distribution of flyers at face-to-face visits of physicians and many more.

This partnership is incredibly valuable for us and we are happy that this collaboration may help to reach many more patients and aims to alleviate their cancer burden.”
