High-growth companies will be responsible for the next wave of breakthrough treatments, but the clinical trial industry doesn’t move at their pace
It can take up to 15 years for new treatments to reach patients. We want to help patients benefit sooner by accelerating this process.
New treatments would not be possible without volunteers. Research needs to be designed with patients and participants in mind.
Clinical trials are broken. The cost of bringing new medicines to market has skyrocketed and as a result patients are missing out on new treatments. Our mission is to fix this; we use software to help innovative companies run faster, more reliable and patient-friendly clinical trials. We do this because we believe patients deserve better than having to wait decades for new treatments.
We’re named after James Lind who pioneered the first clinical trial in the 18th century and discovered that oranges and lemons cured scurvy. Like James, we want to improve health outcomes for all.
