Accurate, complete, Real-World data for clinical trials that accelerates innovation in new therapies.
The Challenge
Clinical trials are the crucial bottleneck in developing new therapies; weak data makes developing these new therapies very slow, difficult, risky, and costly.
The payoff from accelerating innovation is large and worthwhile:
Therapies reach patients faster
$300k/ day cost saving
$3.0M/ day revenue gain for earlier launch
BY THE NUMBERS
~8 yrs
Avg. length of clinical trials in drug development
$2.3B
Average cost to bring a new drug to market
~$35B
Annual spend by Big Pharma on Phase II and Phase III clinical trials
– of which ~$3.3B in CNS / Brain
30%
of drugs entering Phase II fail to produce sufficiently powerful data

The Challenge
Today’s clinical trials produce data that is:
Not objective
Not precise and accurate
Not complete
Not real-world evidence
➡
Causing trials to be:
Slower
Harder
Riskier
Costlier
The Solution
Our solution is better data.
We measure smaller effect sizes, with greater specificity and selectivity, over more representative populations. Our solution generates better data than all competitive alternatives. We make trials faster, easier and less risky.
Our platform integrates very rich data in the home with third party data and conventional clinical examinations.
We deliver more powerful data, continuously and consistently as an end-to-end service.
The Platform
Our state-of-the-art platform delivers decentralized, ambient, accurate, complete, Real-World Data. Our robust and transparent architecture enables the data to be validated and verified. The platform delivers a great user experience and a complete end-to-end turnkey platform.
It combines multiple vision and radar sensors in the home with a hub, a touch screen for interaction and cloud connectivity to deliver the results to the customers in the cloud.
