How Ribbon.Life is Funded?
How does Ribbon.Life make money?
DEVA - and its subsidiaries- is a for-profit company on a mission to redefine healthcare around the patient experience. Our revenue is generated through the following business activities:
1. Patients Support Programs
where Ribbon.Life works with health plans and other payors to develop peer networks to augment the treatment protocol for a particular condition. Through these communities, Ribbon.Life can help payors improve health outcomes for their members through sustained peer support and education that has been demonstrated to increase engagement and adherence in managing their conditions.
2. Research Collaborations
That use real-world evidence gathered by Ribbon.Life to learn more about patients' unmet needs and work to improve the lives of patients.
3. Clinical Trials Support
That includes:
- Helping clinical trial sponsors recruit patients who meet eligibility requirements.
- Helping sponsors optimize trial design and design support mechanisms based on feedback from Ribbon.Life Members.
- Using Ribbon.Life to support decentralized or virtual clinical trials through remote data gathering and outcomes monitoring.
- Using Ribbon.Life real-world evidence to act as the control (comparison) group of a study.
4. Ribbon Marketplace
People can support the work of the Ribbon by purchasing goods from our online store and our partner retail shops, at no extra cost. Your support means we can provide free information and support to cancer patients and their loved ones in our community. So, fill your shopping bag with lots of goodies and every penny you spend will make a real difference.
