Background 

Since we launched TrialX.com, an online platform to match patients to clinical trials, we have been committed to increasing consumer participation in research.

With the ubiquitous availability of smartphones, we have an unprecedented opportunity to empower patients to engage in research studies, right from their palms. So when Apple launched ResearchKit in March 2015, we reached out to our trial investigators to hear their thoughts.

The first thing that they brought up was “So, no Android? Wont this bias study results?” So we dedicated a full team to develop the first Android version of Researchkit 

We then  launched the first ResearchKit study, America Walks that is available on both Android and iOS to demonstrate the feasbility of such cross-platform apps.

More about our mobile research study app work can be found here. If you would like to use ResearchDroid for your app, then drop us a line.
