FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
WITT LAUNCHES SPANISH LANGUAGE VERSION OF ITS PATIENT SUPPORT PLATFORM TO ACCELERATE ADOPTION AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES
SANTA
CLARA, Calif. —
September 22, 2023 — The WiTT Group™,
Inc., a Digital Health and FinTech company focused on solving the non-clinical
challenges cancer patients face as they go through treatment, is pleased to
announce a Spanish language version of its patient support platform, the WiTT
Support Registry™. This Spanish version
makes the platform more accessible to non-English speaking Hispanic patients
and their care networks, further accelerating adoption and improving
outcomes.
"We started WiTT to provide a platform
where every patient can get the non-clinical support they need as they go
through treatment so that they could focus on what is truly important – their
health. We recognized that an English
only version limited the ability of all patients to use our platform as a
resource. As the percentage of Hispanic
patients on our platform increased, we worked to add Spanish as a language
option. We hope this enhancement will
allow us to impact many more lives in a meaningful way," said Rahul Mahadevan,
Founder & CEO of the WiTT Group, Inc.
WiTT
has seen a rapid acceleration of the number of patients it supports on its
platform, recording an average increase of 15% Sper month in 2023. Currently 23% of the patients on the WiTT
platform are Hispanic. According the American Cancer Society one in three Hispanic men and
women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and one in five men and one
in seven women will die from the disease.
"Language
shouldn't be a barrier to asking for and receiving help," added Rahul Mahadevan. "The addition of Spanish will enable Hispanic
patients to include family and friends to their support networks that do not
speak English. Not only have we unlocked
additional opportunity to accelerate the adoption of the platform, but we've
also been able to improve the quality of lives for Hispanic cancer patients
going through treatment."
The WiTT Group partners with a
variety of organizations including non-profits, cancer support groups,
hospitals, providers, employers and church groups to use its WiTT Support Registry platform. These
organizations help identify patients in need who can use the platform to create
a personal support registry of financial and non-financial needs, and make their registry
visible to their friends and family. This not only makes it easy for a patient to ask for support, but it
also makes it easy for those that want to support a patient to know exactly
what they can do to help. Patients also
have the option to make their profile public, so they can receive contributions
from a broader group of donors through the WiTT Fund. The
WiTT Fund is a component fund of Legacy Global Foundation, a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organization. EIN 20-8099462. Donations may be tax deductible. The WiTT Support Registry is free to patients.
