A Commitment to Empowerment and Protection
“A whole new approach that is rooted in empowering and engaging the patient without mining their data, and earning patient trust by protecting them and advocating on their behalf.” said Pradeep Goel, CEO of Care.Trials Inc. “At the same time, we bring powerful new tools to study teams to identify and connect with the right patient and effectively determine if they are suitable and eligible to participate. Our goal is to accelerate research such that cures for all diseases can be found faster.”
