It's proven platform has been shown to have a patient activation rate of 92% and a clinician system usability score of 93%.

According to Dr. Gaurav Narang, VP Strategy at Rx.Health, "TrialEngage for patient recruitment and engagement has become even more relevant in the age of COVID-19. Working within the EHR, the TrialEngage platform allows bulk digital prescriptions to be sent to large patient cohorts. This capability was used to outreach one million New Yorkers during COVID crisis and recruit over 55,000 participants. Using text to enroll, bots and no-app televisits makes recruiting and engaging trial participants an automated and hands-off process. It's a pretty unique feature that brings best of clinical outreach and research engagement under one umbrella."

Dr. Chris Fourment, President of Precision Research, a nationwide GI clinical research consortium, echos Dr. Narang's comments, "We believe the TrialEngage platform will help us recruit faster and more efficiently.

Rx.Health has a deep clinical background in GI and that is certainly another plus."
