What You Should Know:
– PicnicHealth, a pioneer in real-world data (RWD) and clinical AI has unveiled its new Clinical Services division, featuring a Virtual Clinic for patients and a Virtual Site for life sciences companies. This innovative approach, supported by a team of in-house providers, aims to enhance care management for patients and streamline observational research for life sciences.
Virtual Clinic: Empowering Patients & Observational Research
PicnicHealth’s Virtual Clinic grants patients access to their Universal Patient Record, a comprehensive and organized view of their medical history. It also provides clinician-guided support to help patients better manage their health. Leveraging AI-powered technology, PicnicHealth’s clinical care team reviews patient records, identifies gaps in care, and offers actionable insights. Patients can also directly interact with the care team to discuss recommendations and receive follow-up care, creating a more cohesive and supportive experience.
PicnicHealth’s Virtual Site simplifies observational research for life science companies, offering a wider range of study designs and novel data collection methods. This goes beyond PicnicHealth’s established leadership in medical record synthesis, enabling the capture of endpoints not typically documented during routine care.
The Virtual Site is backed by a dedicated study team of in-house clinicians and principal investigators (PIs), who can order diagnostics, conduct assessments, and oversee studies, ensuring compliance and data integrity.
Benefits of the Virtual Site
- Reduced start-up time and burden: Simplifies the research process for life science companies.
- Improved patient experience: Leads to increased retention, response rates, and diversity.
- Faster data collection: Streamlines data gathering for more efficient research.
- Transparency: Provides life sciences teams with real-time study progress metrics.
- Flexibility: Can be used for both hybrid and fully virtual observational studies.
“We’ve seen how difficult it is to manage complex care journeys, and have designed the Virtual Clinic to simplify care through a combination of expert clinical guidance and technology,” says Dan Drozd, MD, chief medical officer at PicnicHealth. “The Virtual Clinic offers a more cohesive and supportive care experience, ensuring no part of a patient’s care is overlooked.”
