Why Electric Fields?

Meet GRACE – The Future of Cancer Treatment

GRACE is a platform for the next generation of cancer therapy. By delivering therapeutic electric fields from within the body, it opens new possibilities for tackling some of the hardest to treat cancers. This technology forms the foundation for a pipeline of implantable therapies adaptable across multiple indications, with our first target in glioblastoma.

Continuous Treatment

Cancer doesnʼt rest, and neither should treatment. Because GRACE is fully implantable, it allows therapy to be delivered continuously. Where traditional treatments act for limited windows before their effects wear off, implantable electric fields sustain therapy around the clock.

Targeted Therapy

GRACE delivers therapy directly where itʼs needed in the brain. By focusing electric fields on dividing tumour cells, treatment is localised to the cancer site and reduces impact on the rest of the body. The result is a precise approach designed to fight the tumour while sparing healthy tissue.

Designed for Life

Life does not stop with a diagnosis. GRACE is designed to fit naturally into daily routines with minimal external parts, so patients can stay active, independent, and connected to the things they love. By working in the background while patients go about their day, it supports quality of life without interrupting effective therapy.

Our Pipeline

Unlocking the Next Frontier in Cancer Treatment

Glioblastoma is only the beginning. Using the same technology and device, our platform has the potential to transform treatment across a range of aggressive cancers, from paediatric tumours to widespread brain metastases and beyond.
