Luminate

Luminate Medical is a clinical-stage medtech company based in Galway, Ireland, founded in 2018. The company focuses on developing wearable devices and technology-enabled services aimed at reducing the side effects of chemotherapy and facilitating at-home cancer care. Co-founded by Aaron Hannon, Dr. Bárbara Oliveira, and Professor Martin O’Halloran, Luminate Medical emerged from research at the University of Galway, driven by the needs of patients observed during clinical trials.

The company's flagship product, Lily, is a portable device that uses compression technology to prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss, allowing patients to self-administer during treatments. Another product, Lilac, addresses peripheral neuropathy, a common side effect of chemotherapy. Luminate also offers the Lotus platform, which supports nurse-led at-home cancer treatment, enhancing the efficiency of drug dispensing and oversight. With a growing team and significant funding, Luminate Medical is positioned as a leader in empathy-driven, evidence-based cancer care solutions.
