Why Evinova (AstraZeneca)?
We are a new health tech business with a mission to transform billions of patients’ lives through technology, data and cutting-edge ways of working in the Life Sciences industry. Evinova provides a software platform and software application suite that focuses on science to support clinical trials by enabling effective data analytics and efficient planning, execution and oversight of all trials in a sponsor portfolio.
Evinova draws on AstraZeneca’s deep experience developing novel therapeutics, informed by insights from thousands of patients and clinical researchers. Together, we can accelerate the delivery of life-changing medicines, improve the design and delivery of clinical trials for better patient experiences and outcomes, and think more holistically about patient care before, during and after treatment. We know that regulators, healthcare professionals and care teams at clinical trial sites do not want a fragmented approach. They do not want a future where every pharmaceutical company provides their own, different digital solutions. They want solutions that work across the sector, simplify their workload and benefit patients broadly. By bringing our solutions to the wider healthcare community, we can help build more unified approaches to how we all develop and deploy digital technologies, better serving our teams, physicians and ultimately patients.
