AUSTIN, Texas; Feb. 20, 2024 (Business Wire) – Elligo Health Research®, the largest healthcare-enabling research organization, today announced a new collaboration with WHYZE Health, an Ireland-based company.
WHYZE Health is an AI Data-as-a-Service platform that enhances the way healthcare data is collected, managed, and analyzed, thereby enabling healthcare providers to elevate patient care and democratize clinical trial access. This collaboration expands end-to-end clinical trial support to hospitals and medical practices across the U.K. and Europe, meaning more research sites will have comprehensive services to begin providing clinical research as care for patients or to fill in gaps in existing research capabilities.
Through the strategic combination of Elligo’s business development and clinical trials financial expertise and WHYZE’s state-of-the-art AI DaaS platform streamlining patient suitability and recruitment, this partnership will significantly expand the number of community-based healthcare research sites in the U.K. and Europe while improving the diversity of trial enrollees internationally. Health systems, hospitals, and medical practices are provided wraparound support by WHYZE and Elligo to ensure trial enrollment, timeliness, and quality expectations are achieved.
“European expansion is part of a multi-pronged strategy to bring research services to as many clients as possible at a time when there is regulatory pressure to test drugs on patients who better reflect the diversity of the overall population,” said Elligo CEO Barry Simms. “The global challenge we all face today is supporting research-naïve sites to participate in clinical research trials. Expanding support to more healthcare settings will continue to attract more diverse patients for trials worldwide. We look forward to partnering with WHYZE in this effort.”
“Our alliance with Elligo Health Research represents a quantum leap in healthcare innovation, where WHYZE’s advanced AI Data-as-a-Service platform meets the clinical acumen of global research networks, setting a new gold standard in patient-centric care and inclusivity in clinical trials across Europe,” said WHYZE Health CEO Frances Abeton. “At WHYZE Health, we are not just developing technology; we are shaping the future of patient empowerment and research accessibility, ensuring that every patient, regardless of their background, can benefit from the most advanced research.”
