Why POEM

Built by a Lung Cancer Specialist, Not a Generic AI

POEM was built by a practicing medical oncologist who treats lung cancer patients. Its clinical reasoning patterns are based on how oncologists actually think — not on whatever was scraped from the open internet. You're talking to a tool that knows what it doesn't know, and tells you when to ask your physician.

Why this matters: General AI tools confidently hallucinate clinical reasoning. POEM is built to refuse, redirect, and defer to your care team in ways generic AI does not.

Carries Your Story Across Every Visit

Most AI tools start fresh every conversation. POEM remembers the diagnosis, the staging, the biomarker, the side effects, the questions that came up last time. Your context compounds — so by visit three, POEM knows your case. By month six, POEM is the only tool that has been there for the whole journey.

Why this matters: Lung cancer is multi-year. Every oncology visit ends with a list of new terms, new drugs, new decisions. POEM is the one tool that holds the thread.

Built for the Actual Lung Cancer Journey

POEM has clinical depth on the questions that actually come up: targeted therapy versus immunotherapy, biomarker-matched first-line decisions (ALK, EGFR, KRAS, ROS1, RET, MET), checkpoint-inhibitor side effects (pneumonitis, colitis, thyroid, skin), staging and progression, second-opinion frameworks, clinical-trial education, nutrition during treatment.

Why this matters: A free chatbot can tell you what NSCLC means. POEM helps you think through whether you're on the right first-line therapy for your mutation, what to ask your oncologist about side effects, and what a second opinion would actually look like.

What POEM helps with

If you're newly diagnosed
  • Understand what your pathology report actually says (NSCLC vs. SCLC, adenocarcinoma, biomarkers)
  • Learn the staging system and what your stage means for treatment options
  • Build a list of questions for the next oncology appointment
  • Understand the first-line treatment decision (chemo, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, surgery, radiation)
  • Decide whether to seek a second opinion — and how to frame the request
If you're in treatment
  • Understand side effects of immunotherapy (pembrolizumab, atezolizumab, durvalumab, nivolumab) and what's worth calling your oncologist about
  • Understand targeted therapy options (osimertinib, lorlatinib, alectinib, sotorasib, adagrasib) and whether you're on the right one for your mutation
  • Prepare for next-line decisions if your current therapy stops working
  • Understand clinical-trial options for your biomarker and progression status
  • Track and explain side effects, weight changes, and symptom patterns between visits
If you're a caregiver
  • Understand what your parent's oncologist is actually saying
  • Build appointment prep — what to bring, what to ask, what to push back on
  • Know when symptoms are worth a same-day call versus the next appointment
  • Help advocate for second opinions, biomarker testing, or clinical-trial referral
  • Manage the emotional and logistical load — without becoming a single point of failure

Built by a physician who does this work every day

POEM was created by a practicing medical oncologist specializing in lung cancer at a major academic cancer center. The clinical reasoning patterns inside POEM come from years of treating lung cancer patients, leading precision medicine and developmental therapeutics, and teaching the next generation of oncologists. This is not a tech company guessing at clinical content. It's a physician building the tool he wishes existed for the patients and families he meets every week.

POEM is educational and a clinical companion. POEM does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace your physician. POEM is a third party in the relationship between you and your care team — not a substitute for it.

What we believe

We built POEM because lung cancer patients and their families deserve a tool that thinks the way an oncologist thinks — at any hour, on any question, for as long as the journey lasts.

Frequently asked

Why $9.99 a month?

Less than Netflix. Less than one specialty copay. We don't take advertising, we don't sell your data, and we don't take pharma money.

How is this different from using ChatGPT or Gemini?

Three things. POEM is built by a practicing oncologist, with clinical reasoning patterns grounded in how oncologists actually think. POEM remembers your story across every conversation — so context compounds rather than starting over. And POEM has clinical depth on the specific decisions lung cancer patients face, not generic medical Q&A.

Will POEM replace my oncologist?

No. POEM is an educational and clinical companion — a third party that helps you think, prepare, and ask better questions. POEM does not diagnose, prescribe, or substitute for medical care. The goal is to make every visit with your actual oncologist more productive.

Is my data safe?

Yes. POEM is HIPAA-conscious, your data is encrypted, your conversations are never sold, and your information is never used to train external AI models. You can delete your account and all your data at any time.
