This week I’m joined by Dr. Mercy Ofuya — a medical statistician and healthcare innovator using data, technology, and compassion to transform cancer care in underserved communities.

With over a decade of experience in research methodology, clinical trial design, and digital health innovation, Dr. Mercy holds a Doctor of Optometry degree, a Master’s in Medical Statistics from the University of Southampton, and a PhD in Medical Statistics from King’s College London.

Her passion for global cancer control led to the creation of two powerful initiatives:
✦ CupArise — a nonprofit advancing breast health awareness through the Mami mobile app
✦ Annexis Health — where she serves as Co-founder & CEO, building Mkono, a digital platform enabling early cancer detection and remote patient monitoring in low-resource settings

A recipient of multiple awards including the Vanessa Moss Prize (RSM Oncology), the David Walsh Award, and the People’s Choice Award, Dr. Mercy is on a mission to improve early cancer detection and expand access to healthcare for those who need it most.

In this powerful episode, we dive into her story, her mission, and the movement she’s building through Mami and Mkono. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
