It’s living with it. Arc works in the space between a breakthrough and a life, how a treatment reaches you, and whether you can keep taking it.
The Problem
A treatment only works if it is actually taken, on time, as intended, day after day. Too often it isn’t, for the simplest reason: it is too hard to live with.
Four Fronts
Every discipline attacks the same distance, between a treatment and a life.
Reimagining how medicine reaches the body.
The way a treatment is delivered shapes how well it works and how easily a person can take it. Arc develops delivery technologies, from oral films that dissolve without water to micro-array patches and the formats still to come, that make medicine faster to act, easier to take, and simpler to live with.
Now advancing
Pharmaceutical science, in service of human outcomes.
A medicine is only as good as a person's ability to take it as intended. Arc's therapeutic work focuses not only on what a treatment contains, but on how it is experienced, addressing the everyday realities of adherence, onset, and comfort that determine whether treatment succeeds.
Active
Everyday health, precisely delivered.
Wellbeing is not only the absence of illness, it is something people maintain, every day. Arc applies the same scientific rigour and delivery technology developed for medicine to nutritional health, replacing large pills and difficult formats with something faster, gentler, and easier to sustain.
Active
The technologies that do not yet exist.
The most important platform is the one we have not built yet. Arc is designed to grow into new fields of human health (new modalities, new formats, new sciences) without ever needing to redefine what the company is. The arc obliges us to keep moving forward.
