Why will PicnicHealth win in Clinical Research
Trials are a major bottleneck in drug development and the promising advancements in biotech cannot achieve their full potential unless clinical research becomes more effective. The industry runs on outdated technology and manual processes. Research sites (hospitals academic centers doctors offices) are a major bottleneck and contract research organizations (CROs) spend most of their time wrangling sites and cobbling together vendor software.
PicnicHealth has built technology that uniquely positions us to run faster cheaper and more flexible studies without requiring sites:
- PicnicAI (trained on 350M clinician annotations over 100k patient records) is the only system that can effectively access and structure all participant EMR data trials need
- Our AI health assistant (NPS of 76) guides participants through study activities and enables most to be done at home
- Were an integrated solution virtual site CRO and software platform with AI built in from the ground up initially focusing on observational research.
