Product Clinic #8: What Matters Most
To build great products, we need a set of underlying principles grounded in hard reality. What matters most in clinical trial delivery? Is it regulatory approval? Is it patient safety? Of course, these are non-negotiable, hard requirements. But to answer our question fully, we need to take a step back to get a broader view of what is at the heart of running a clinical trial.

Cure Scurvy with this one weird trick…! Doctors hate him
In 1747 James Lind conducted the first clinical trial, proving that oranges and lemons were a cure for scurvy. Given that we’re named after him we felt it was about time we wrote a post about the history of scurvy, Lind, and the first ever clinical trial! We believe that in 100 years current health outcomes will seem just as ridiculous and intolerable as 50% of sailors dying of scurvy seems now, and that’s why we’re named Lindus Health.
