End-to-End Scientific Support to Accelerate Clinical Development

 

Optimize Clinical Insights from Continuous Sensor Data

Study teams often struggle to demonstrate clinical benefit with traditional clinical outcome measures (COAs), which are often based on episodic and subjective ratings. The ActiGraph Science Team helps your study team capture meaningful clinical outcome measures, remotely and continuously, throughout the clinical development lifecycle using sensor-based wearable Digital Health Technologies (DHTs).

Delivering Exceptional Scientific Services for Your Clinical Trials

How Our Team Can Help Accelerate Your Clinical Development Program

At ActiGraph, we understand that introducing novel or additional elements to your development program can bring great opportunities, but also can come with risks. That’s why we built a world-class Science Team so you can leverage our expertise and experience to realize benefits such as improved enrollment, reduced participant burden, accelerated development timelines, and supported regulatory engagement.

We help you incorporate DHTs with a detailed deployment consultation and help you plan for effective fit-for-purpose data collection by leveraging shared best practices and avoiding common pain points.

ActiGraph Science Team

Sensor-based DHTs are inherently more complex than traditional clinical measures. To help study teams maximize the benefit of DHTs, ActiGraph has built a world-class team of engineers, data scientists, biostatisticians, and clinical scientists. Our multidisciplinary team provides end-to-end services to tailor the application of DHTs to the clinical hypotheses and reveal the otherwise invisible clinical insights derived from high-quality sensor data.

ActiGraph's Science Team

Sensor-based DHTs are inherently more complex than traditional clinical measures, but the value they can bring to a development program is multifaceted. To help study teams maximize the benefit of DHTs, ActiGraph has built a world-class team of engineers, data scientists, biostatisticians, and clinical scientists. Our multidisciplinary team provides end-to-end services to tailor the application of DHTs to the clinical hypotheses and reveal the otherwise uncaptured clinical insights derived from high-quality sensor data.
