AONN+ and Manta Cares Bring AI Cancer Tool to 9,000 Navigators
The partnership equips oncology nurse and patient navigators with purpose-built AI training and resources as cancer patients increasingly rely on general AI tools.
Two healthcare organizations have joined forces to deliver specialized artificial intelligence resources to more than 9,000 oncology nurse and patient navigators across the United States, addressing growing concerns about cancer patients turning to general-purpose AI platforms for medical guidance.
The Alliance of Oncology Nurse and Patient Navigators (AONN+) and Manta Cares announced the collaboration, which centers on providing navigators with structured training, continuing education, and access to AI tools specifically designed for the complexities of cancer care — a stark contrast to broad consumer AI systems not built with oncology in mind.

By equipping navigators with purpose-built AI training and vetted tools, AONN+ and Manta Cares aim to standardize how oncology support professionals engage with the technology and counsel patients on its appropriate use. The initiative underscores a broader industry push to ensure that AI adoption in sensitive medical contexts is guided by clinical expertise rather than general consumer applications.
