The f-lambda journey

f-lambda was born out of a specific problem statement - "can we identify ovarian cancer early enough to commence a treatment regime which improves the prognosis and potentially saves lives ?".

Well, as per our clinical advisors, the early symptoms of ovarian cancer are not alarming enough to lead to the necessary tests required and by the time the more obvious symptoms manifest, the prognosis is not positive and it is mostly too late as the statistics below indicate.

  • 1 in 78 (1.3%) women have a risk of ovarian cancer with lifetime probability of mortality being is 1 in 108 (0.92%) (Source: Data as of 2021 on cancer.org)

  • 3rd most common cancer in India affecting more than 45K per year (Source: Data as of 2021 on thehealthsite.com, aujmsr.com, gco.iacr.fr)

  • Within Asia, mortality rate due to Ovarian Cancer is highest in India (Source: Data as of 2021 on aujmsr.com)

  • Financial impact of untimely detection – about 12.5% sell assets, 39% borrow, 37% spend their savings, 16.5% reduction in non-medical spending (education, lifestyle etc.) (Source: July 2017Indian Journal of Public Health Research and Development 8(3):137-141)

Blending in holistic wellness

The key question was, "Can we create a culture of wellness and self-monitoring in women to ensure early detection ?".

This led to the conceptualization and design of the f-lambda Suite of products, where we have attempted to provide a platform and accompanying tools to not just women who are entering into menopause or are post-menopausal, but also for wellness service providers to achieve digital reach to reach more and more customers.
