The decentralised approach of NORA is expected to provide data that will be more representative of patients’ real-life experiences.

It further aims to reduce the duration of product development and allow the faster launch of certain treatments.

"We created Science 37 to uniquely combine telemedicine technology, decentralised physician networks, and in-house experienced clinical study staff."

Initially, the partnership will focus on the areas of neurology and immunology.

The partnership is also expected to enable a more integrated study design process where the patient-centric mindset will help early protocol development.

Science 37 co-founder and CEO Noah Craft said: “We created Science 37 to uniquely combine telemedicine technology, decentralised physician networks, and in-house experienced clinical study staff to take on new and exciting research studies.”

The NORA platform is designed to allow end-to-end remote clinical trials and complies with the advanced industry quality and regulatory standards.

Science 37 has also developed the Metasite or ‘site-less’ model, which is designed to help researchers engage directly with trial participants through every stage of planning starting from screening and recruitment to data lock.

The model’s direct online connection enables greater retention of patients, increased diversity across trials, and faster recruitment.
