Real patients. Real specimens. Real fast.

Currently, we support biospecimen collection studies, real world data studies, surveys, and patient recruitment for interviews/focus groups.  In the future, we anticipate adding clinical trial recruitment and even marketing research.

Additionally we have access to samples collected via a healthcare provider network through our sister website www.biosampleconnect.com.

Through our patient network, we can collect any sample that can be collected with “minimal risk” including blood (and derivatives), urine, stool, saliva, cheek swabs, nasal swabs, skin scrapings, hair, vaginal swabs, and semen.  We can also perform other minimal risk research such as surveys and wearable data collection.

Additionally, we have access to healthcare provider organizations and biobanks through our sister organization BioSample Connect (www.biosampleconnect.com) for samples that are banked or prospectively-collected by a healthcare provider.   

When patients sign up, they give us access to their electronic medical records which includes demographics, diagnoses, medications, procedures, labs/test results, vital signs, encounter information, allergies, family history, social history, and more. Patients can access longitudinal data across all of their providers.

First and foremost, we use real electronic medical record data (as opposed to patient reported data) to validate inclusion and exclusion criteria for each patient.  Additionally, when signing up for studies, patients certify that they meet eligibility criteria for the study. Finally, we can perform further screening checks such as surveys, phone screens, and specimen testing.

Data comes to us electronically - directly from the electronic medical record systems that houses our participants’ data. By eliminating human intervention in the process, we eliminate the errors that happen when data is transcribed by humans.

Our blood specimens are collected by trained phlebotomists who come to the participant’s home or other place of choice for the collection.  Collections that do not require a trained clinician (e.g. saliva) can be collected by the patient directly.  All specimens come with a money-back guarantee that they were collected in accordance with the collection protocol.

Yes! We operate under a single IRB protocol that covers the "minimal risk" research that allows patients to participate in research as long as it’s considered minimal risk by HHS (e.g. minimal risk biospecimen collections, data collection, surveys, and interviews, and more). Using one protocol, one consent form, and one material and data use agreement simplifies compliance by eliminating the need to track different requirements across multiple protocols and contracts.

We are currently developing our patient platform and expect to launch it soon. In the meantime, we can still get you specimens through our patient network and our healthcare provider relationships. For more information, please visit our sister site BioSample Connect (www.biosampleconnect.com).
