Accelerates clinical trials for life sciences
Lindus Health focuses on speeding up clinical trials to help patients access new treatments more quickly. The company operates differently from traditional contract research organizations (CROs) by using a fixed-price model for studies and milestone-based payments, which aligns their incentives with those of their clients. Lindus Health combines a skilled clinical operations team with a specialized software platform and access to a vast database of 30 million Electronic Health Records. They handle all aspects of clinical studies, including designing the study, recruiting patients, capturing clinical data, monitoring progress, and managing projects. With their approach, Lindus Health has successfully assisted over 90 sponsors in conducting clinical trials across the US, UK, and Europe, completing them up to three times faster than conventional CROs and often delivering results ahead of schedule.
