HealthMatch: solutions for the $1B clinical trials industry

Founded in 2017, HealthMatch matches upcoming clinical trials with patients who meet the specific requirements and want to be part of it. Thanks to the experienced user base’s exponential growth (from 8,000 people in February 2020 to 80,000 nowadays), the company is now placing some 2,000 people into clinical trials each month, for treatments tackling everything from cancer to eczema to endometriosis. Despite the Covid-19 crisis has raised awareness and relevance for this pressing issue to the general population, the need has always been there. So many people put their lives hopes into these clinical trials’ success, even though many times they do not even know about their existence.  The company’s platform closes this gap and this match not only gives patients access to potentially revolutionary new treatments that may help them live better or even save their lives but helps also the industry to find eligible candidates and to speed up the entire drug development process
