“My daughter’s Ewing’s Sarcoma diagnosis at age 13 in 2011 highlighted the lack of information that left her scared, anxious, and reluctant to engage with health services. Drawing on my entrepreneurial and tech disruptor background, I founded Xploro to change this. Boomerang’s investment provides essential support for our mission to empower young patients with the knowledge they need,” said Dominic Raban, Co-Founder & CEO, Xploro Inc.
