Our take
Traditional clinical research companies are often inefficient and rely upon pen and paper, even for the UK COVID-19 vaccine trial, one of the best-funded trials in history. In addition, the cost of conducting clinical trials has skyrocketed over the last decade. This, of course, stifles innovation and means fewer new treatments for patients.
In response to these challenges, Lindus Health was established with the mission to simplify patient participation in research and expedite the development of novel treatments. On a mission to change how trials are conducted in order to provide faster, safer clinical trials on behalf of companies developing new treatments, and lowering the barriers to participation for patients.
Since launching in 2021, Lindus Health has actively connected patients with clinical trials across diverse domains, encompassing areas such as type 2 diabetes, COVID-19 diagnostics, and mental health. Bolstered by several successful funding rounds, the company is poised to facilitate end-to-end clinical trials and research sponsors with high-quality data. Alongside this growth, Lindus is expanding its workforce. This strategic approach underscores its commitment to reshaping the landscape of clinical research for the betterment of patients and the advancement of medical science.
