Crescendo Health Launches To Improve And Accelerate Clinical Trials By Unlocking Patient Health Data

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crescendo Health, an innovative health data company powering the next generation of clinical research, today announced its official launch with a mission to revolutionize how patients contribute real-world data to clinical studies. The company also announced an initial $3.4 million investment from leading early-stage investors, including Define Ventures as well as the founders and CEOs of many other well-known organizations.Founded by the co-founder of Datavant (merged with Ciox in a $7 billion deal), and a top product-management leader from Grand Rounds (merged with Doctor On Demand to form Included Health), Crescendo Health is a public benefit corporation that is unlocking access to traditionally siloed health data for both patients and clinical research sponsors. The company works with researchers from many types of healthcare organizations, including biopharma, medical device manufacturers and contract research organizations, to provide the tools and support required to collect and integrate information from patients' routine clinical care, helping them better understand long-term outcomes of new treatments.“Patients participating in clinical trials generate valuable health data throughout their healthcare journey, so researchers shouldn’t be limited to information gathered in the four walls of a research clinic. However, to date, these external real-world data elements weren’t accessible to trial sponsors at scale, which is why we’re building the machinery and support required to change the paradigm,” said Sam Roosz, co-founder and CEO of Crescendo Health. “We are working towards a future where research is seamlessly integrated with routine clinical care, making participation easy and accessible for patients from all backgrounds.”Led by a world-class team of former clinical research executives from institutions like Stanford and Medidata and seasoned digital product experts, Crescendo Health brings some of the most innovative digital health technologies that are transforming patient care to clinical trials, helping sponsors advance life-saving therapeutics in more efficient and cost-effective ways. The model works by garnering informed consent to collect health data on behalf of people participating in clinical research from any healthcare organization touching their care
