Company's Bio: Imagine a 6.2 feet man who weighs only 130 pounds, desperate to help him his daughter turns to cannabis as she has heard about the medical benefits it provides. After weeks of searching the internet for help and not finding a health professional she can trust, she buys what she thinks may work. Fast forward 2 months, 5 different products, hundreds of dollars spent and none of the medicine was effective. Coming from the healthcare industry and understanding of what patient care is about and how data can help improve outcomes, she started IllumeSense.
IllumeSense is a technology startup to benefit the medical cannabis community and industry. A virtual cannabis care management platform (VCCM) to connect patients in need to certified cannabis care providers for support and safe products. We aim to close the gap in effective cannabis care. Our long term goal is to build the Global Cannabis Clinical Database (GCCD) to educate patients about health benefits of the plant, to support cannabis care providers with clinically reliable data, to accelerate medicine development and most importantly to pass on the knowledge to future generation of medical cannabis patients and their families.
