ObvioHealth, a leading virtual health research organization or VROTM, announced today it has raised $17 million in its latest round of financing. This round of financing comes on the heels of a global alliance with a strategic partner announced in March.
This milestone occurs at a critical time in the clinical research industry, as many site-based clinical studies are disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ObvioHealth's proprietary platform, designed for digital and remote/at-home research, makes it easier and safer to get robust data for clinical trials.
Earlier this month, ObvioHealth announced it is sponsoring a virtual research study in the fight against COVID-19. The study will monitor the prevalence, symptoms and immune response of 10,000 participants in the United States over the next 12 months.
"In a world where virtual is the new normal, ObvioHealth's three-year investment in the creation of an easy to deploy end-to-end virtual research platform and app has put us ahead of the curve," said Ivan Jarry, Co-founder of ObvioHealth. "With these funds, we are strongly positioned to further grow our technology and provide more clients access to our industry-leading digital and remote research."
Q2 2020 has seen a significant uptick in business development and corresponding strong interest in ObvioHealth's technology across sectors and geographies.
