Hawthorne Effect

Hawthorne Effect assists clinical trials with the management of patient data, including in-home assessments and real-time data visibility. The company’s solutions are primarily offered through its Accelerate Clinical Trial platform, which includes 1) adaptive assessments for enabling comprehensive screening and follow-ups, 2) verified real-time data for multi-modal data collection and visibility, 3) intelligent matching for patient screening, and 4) universal enrollment for patient onboarding. The cloud platform is compliant with industry standards including 21 CFR Part 11 and GDPR.

In addition to its platform, Hawthorne also provides consulting services to its customers including patient recruitment, site design, and accelerated startup. Furthermore, the company maintains a network of healthcare professionals, called Hawthorne Heroes, to supplement its platform solution. These professionals support patient engagement and the accuracy of the data collected.
