Striving to Prevent Damage from Chemotherapy
Welcome to Eisana Health
Up to 500,000 cancer patients a year develop chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), which is permanent nerve damage in the hands and feet. Eisana Health is developing the first patient-centered cooling device designed to prevent it.
Surviving Cancer Shouldn't Mean a Life of Pain
Eisana Health is an early-stage medical device company founded in 2020 by Dr. Carole Spangler Vaughn, a life sciences veteran, oncology entrepreneur, and cancer survivor.
After her own Stage 2b breast cancer diagnosis, Carole was stunned to discover that one of the most common and devastating side effects of chemotherapy is nerve damage in the hands and feet, which is largely preventable with cooling, yet no practical solution existed for patients.
She founded Eisana Health to change that. Unnecessary pain and suffering should never be the price of survival.
Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
CIPN is nerve damage caused by many common chemotherapy drugs. It affects the nerve endings in the fingers and toes, and for hundreds of thousands of patients each year, it's permanent.
Hands & Feet
No Cure
Quality of Life
CIPN targets peripheral nerves, causing numbness, burning, and shooting pain in fingers and toes.
Once it develops, CIPN is often irreversible. Prevention is the most effective strategy available.
Patients lose fine motor skills, mobility, and independence, which affects daily life long after treatment ends.
Watch how our cooling device helps prevent CIPN.
