Our take

For over a decade now, uMotif has been helping make clinical trials faster, easier, and more reliable. The uMotif app allows participants to record data themselves remotely, instead of travelling to a centralised location - be that through wearables, electronic assessment, or self-report.

This positions uMotif as one of the older decentralised trial tech startups, and it’s helped the company get a good head start in building a global presence. That said, this may not insulate uMotif for long in an increasingly crowded market, with many well-funded, high performing platforms offering the same kind of tech - including SnapIOT, Medable and Clinical Ink.

Demand, however, is likely to be high for the winning players. Decentralised trial monitoring is here to stay, and tech-accelerated pharmaceutical developments means the market is expected to grow substantially going forwards. Recently, uMotif has focussed on securing partnerships with other tech players to bring heightened value to its offerings, and has showcased its popularity with a Best of Show win at the 2023 SCOPE Summit for Clinical Ops Executives.
