De-risking and accelerating clinical trials through more sensitive and complete data about patients’ function in real-life
Innovation in pharma is risky and slow because of the bottleneck of clinical trials, which do not produce adequate data:
70-75% of all pharma R&D spend
Up to 1 in 3 fail to produce required data
Typically take 7-10 years
Cost >$10s of Millions
Clinical trials are risky, slow and costly because of inadequate data:
Slow & difficult to recruit & retain participants and ensure adherence
Often subjective or not quantitative
Not sensitive enough
Not complete, lack relevant context
Not real-world, does not represent meaningful changes in function in real-life
WKD.SMRT’s solution is a user-friendly in-home IoT+AI platform that delivers superior data for neurodegenerative and other diseases that involve motor dysfunction or changes in activity in real-life
WKD.SMRT’s platform combines multiple IoT sensor nodes with edge computing for AI processing, a tablet for patient interaction, and a hub that provides WiFi and 5G for connectivity to WKD.SMRT’s cloud, which delivers data-as-a-service via secure APIs
