AccuHealth Technologies Inc. and Health 360xTM Platform: Scaling Point of Care Clinical Trials for African Americans and other Under Represented Patients

Funded by: the National Center for Advancing Translational Science (NCATS) at the national Institutes of Health: Award # 1R44TR003832-01

AccuHealth Technologies Inc. and its Health 360xTM platform is transforming clinical research with point of care access, for patients and providers in non academic practices serving predominant African Americans, and other patients who are traditionally underrepresented in industry and NIH clinical trials. Over 2500 patients, including over 500 high risk African American patients, have used Health 360xTM remote monitoring to improve access to care and clinical outcomes. The Care-to-Research continuum identifies a value-based exchange of members between patient care and clinical research. To address the clinical research participation gap, Health 360xTM provides a de-centralized clinical trial model for engaging, recruiting and retaining patients in clinical research programs. We place significance on identifying and communicating the Return of Value to these patients, and research participants, to ensure not only retention but regimen compliance, good clinical practice and informed consent, as well as regulatory compliance.
