Why will PicnicHealth win in Clinical Research

Trials are a major bottleneck in drug development and the promising advancements in biotech cannot translate to real patient impact unless clinical research becomes faster and more efficient

The industry runs on outdated technology and manual processes. Research sites (hospitals academic centers doctors offices) are overburdened and under-resourced. Contract research organizations (CROs) the organizations that traditionally run clinical trials for life sciences companies typically throw hundreds-of-thousands of man-hours wrangling sites and cobbling together vendor software.

PicnicHealth has built technology that uniquely positions us to run faster cheaper and more flexible studies while removing burden from sites :
