AONN+ Partners With Manta Cares to Bring AI Tools to Oncology Navigators
The collaboration will equip more than 9,000 oncology navigators nationwide with AI resources designed specifically for cancer patients.
Two organizations focused on cancer care have joined forces to address a growing challenge in oncology: patients increasingly relying on general-purpose artificial intelligence tools to seek information about their diagnoses. The Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+) and Manta Cares announced a partnership aimed at putting purpose-built AI resources directly into the hands of trained specialists.
The collaboration will extend training, education, and safer AI tools to more than 9,000 oncology nurse and patient navigators across the United States. Unlike broad consumer AI platforms, the tools provided through this partnership are designed with the specific needs of cancer patients in mind, reducing the risk of misleading or incomplete medical guidance.

As general-purpose AI chatbots become more widely available, oncology specialists have raised concerns about patients turning to those platforms for sensitive clinical questions. AONN+ and Manta Cares position their collaboration as a structured response to that trend, channeling reliable resources through credentialed navigators who can guide patients appropriately.
Oncology navigators serve as critical connectors between cancer patients and the medical system, helping individuals understand treatment options, coordinate care, and manage the logistical challenges of a diagnosis. Equipping that workforce with validated AI tools could strengthen the quality and consistency of support patients receive at a vulnerable stage in their care journey.
