Litmus Health

<p>Doctors and other providers struggle for better ways to collect data from their patients. Litmus Health provides a unified platform for collecting data from many disparate sources, including patient-reported outcomes, devices, wearables, and smart phones. We are focussed on better data collection for clinical trials, and we are embarking on a data collection study for patients with Parkinsons&#39;s disease and other related movement disorders. By collecting a large amount of baseline data, we will be able to empower future studies and trials on patients with Parkinson&#39;s.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hospitals are key participants in clinical trials. Despite advances in our ability to conduct trials, the collection of patient data remains a challenge. From patient-reported outcomes to device and wearable data, hospitals and clinics struggle to faithfully collect data for trials and report that data back to sponsors. Litmus solves these problems by providing a platform for data collection from wearables and sensors as well as surveys delivered on their smart phone. Collecting data this way lowers the barriers to research, frees up time from study personnel, and shortens the duration and lowers the price of clinical trials.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In early stage clinical trials, the decision to go from phase 2 to phase 3 is an expensive one, and several hundred million dollars usually hang in the balance. Moreover, peak sales only last as long as the patent clock allows. This makes drug development high stakes and expensive for the companies involved.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Litmus Health Platform uses real life data collected at the point of experience from wearables, smart devices, and home sensors to guide clinical management and to inform endpoints. In doing so, we help pharmaceutical researchers describe the full value of their work in observational studies, therapeutical trials, and post-market research. From small observational studies to large scale registries, we help researchers unlock fundamentally new insights from patient data.&nbsp;</p> <p>Continuously measuring outcomes in multiple dimensions leads to faster, more efficient and profitable drug development pipelines for the pharmaceutical industry. For post-market researchers, we can help evidence marketing claims and support price by evidencing new dimensions of benefit.&nbsp;<br /> &nbsp;</p>
