Medable

Based in California and founded in 2015, Medable is a digital clinical trial management platform with a range of modules for different processes. These modules include a decentralized clinical trial platform to support decentralized trials using remote tools for data gathering, monitoring, televisits, and consent; digital patient screening to screen patients remotely and at scale; e-consent to enable patients to digitally consent for clinical trials; electronic clinical outcome assessments; and patient-reported outcomes to document data in real time and provide easy access for researchers. It also includes remote patient monitoring to make it easy for patients to record and share data with clinical research teams.

Medable operates on a SaaS business model, with customers having the option of selecting and deploying only the modules required as part of their uniquely customized solution.

In August 2024, Medable launched 'Medable Studio', an all-in-one application for configuring, translating, validating, and launching electronic clinical outcome assessment (eCOA) Plus solutions (which include eCOA, e-consent, televisits, and sensors) into clinical trials. The no-code suite aimed to simplify the complex eCOA launch process, offering biopharmaceutical companies greater control and transparency. Medable Studio includesda point-and-click builder for creating assessments and instruments, a visual schedule of assessments builder, a translation workbench, and a content library. The platform enabled users to rapidly build and launch complex clinical trials, with the ability to create protocol-fit study designs in hours instead of months.

In November 2024, Medable launched Medable AI, a suite of GenAI capabilities integrated into its Studio platform. The suite aimed to streamline digital and decentralized clinical trials for sponsors and research organizations. The AI suite features automated eCOA creation that converts existing outcome assessments into a digital format, a ChatGPT-like interface for editing assessments, and scalable assessment-generation capabilities. 

As of October 2024, the company offered its platforms across 60 countries and was used across 300 decentralized and hybrid clinical trials. The company’s platform is compliant with industry standards, including HIPAA, FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11, and GDPR.

Key customers and partnerships

As of June 2024, Medable claimed to work with 14 out of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies, in addition to working with a range of partners, including Cognizant, Accenture, Oracle, and PwC.

In October 2024, the company partnered with Google Cloud to offer its decentralized clinical trial platform on Google Cloud's marketplace. The collaboration combined Medable's clinical trial technology with Google Cloud's infrastructure and AI capabilities to streamline trial processes.

In May 2024, Medable partnered with Masimo, a medical technology provider, to incorporate new wearable devices in clinical research. Medable announced it would include the MightySat Rx pulse oximeter by Masimo in its platform for various major clinical trials, particularly in lung and breast cancer research.

In October 2023, the company partnered with Pluto Health, a healthcare coordination company, to enhance the clinical trial experience for participants and improve data collection during trials. Through the partnership, the companies aimed to connect patients to the right medical resources including access to clinical trials and home delivery of medication. 

In September 2022, the company announced a four year agreement with GlaxoSmithKline to use Medable’s platform for clinical trials across multiple products. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
