When everything feels overwhelming, start here.
Ember is a free, 24/7 companion for families navigating glioblastoma.
What is Ember, actually?
A chat companion built for the realities of glioblastoma. Free for any family with a GBM diagnosis. There for the questions that don't fit in a fifteen-minute appointment, and the hours between visits when something new comes up.
Ask Ember things like translating pathology reports you don't fully understand, drafting the questions worth bringing to a surgical consult, or walking you back through what was said in an appointment when it felt like too much.
“This is the only thing that actually helps me think straight.”

How Ember helps
Ember sits with you in the hours your care team can't, whether that's the night before a hard consult, the week after the bad news lands, or 2am with the laptop still open.
-
A diagnosis doesn’t land on one person, it lands on an entire family.
Patients are overwhelmed. Caregivers are scrambling. Loved ones want to help but don’t know where to start.
Ember supports all of you. It helps patients understand what’s happening, caregivers think clearly under pressure, and families ask better questions sooner. Because when everyone has access to clarity, decisions feel less chaotic and no one has to carry it alone.
-
Use Ember to chat through new information, organize questions for upcoming appointments, and reflect after difficult conversations. It’s a place to capture concerns as they arise and return to them whenever you need.
-
Ember does not replace doctors or care teams. Instead, it helps families process information, prepare questions, and approach care decisions with more clarity and confidence.
-
Ember is free for families navigating glioblastoma, and conversations are private and secure. Personal data is never sold, and insights used to improve support are anonymized and handled responsibly.
-
Ember was shaped by families who have navigated serious illness like glioblastoma themselves, and designed around the real moments when support is hardest to find.
Ember was created after caring for loved ones through glioblastoma and seeing how much families are left to navigate alone, especially in the long stretches between appointments when questions and decisions are hardest to carry.
We’re building the support we wish every family had.
