Joel de Oliveira Jr

Joel de Oliveira Jr is an entrepreneur dedicated to improving the journey of children undergoing cancer treatment. After years working in technology and product development, Joel combined his professional experience with a deep personal motivation to create solutions that truly support families. Having faced the loss of his own son to cancer, he gained a unique understanding of the gaps in monitoring and communication that put children at risk. This combination of technical experience, personal commitment, and close collaboration with healthcare teams drives him to design practical, human-centred innovations that respond to real needs in paediatric care.

The innovation is a child-friendly remote monitoring system that helps detect early signs of health complications during cancer treatment. It works through a simple wearable device and a digital platform that allows families and medical teams to receive alerts when a child’s condition begins to change. Today, many problems are only identified when they are already severe, leading to emergency situations. This solution offers earlier detection, faster action, and greater peace of mind. It improves on current options by being more accessible, easier to use, and designed specifically to support the daily challenges faced by children and their caregivers.
