We spend two-thirds of our life upright, our natural position.
A revolution is on the horizon for cancer patients to be treated with radiation in the upright position, aiming to deliver better treatment accuracy, more comfort and control for those being treated.
Naturally, comfortable
Remaining upright in a seated or perched position will be more comfortable for some patients.
Increased comfort for your back, breathing and much more.
Moments of control
When your life is taken out of your hands, the small moments of feeling in control really count.
Connecting eye to eye with your therapist and taking in your surroundings.
Sparing more healthy tissue
In our natural position, research indicates our bodies move less.
Less motion will help deliver a more accurate treatment, resulting in fewer side effects.

Patient Voices
All the people you see in our photos are real patients that have battled cancer and that support us in finding a better way for future patients. Incredible humans and our inspiration.
“Your mission is so purposeful, life altering for emotional as well as physical health and well being.”
“As a cancer survivor, I know that cancer is a challenging diagnosis and treatment can be scary. Sitting upright will make one feel more a part of the therapy.”
“Being able to see the technicians instead of facing the ceiling would have significantly reduced the mental pain. Patient-focused—as it should be.”
