Elligo Health Research Announces Acquisition of ePatientFinder Clinical Trial Exchange Technology Platform and Practice Network
Austin, Texas, May 24, 2018 (Business Wire) -
Elligo Health Research
, which improves clinical trial access by engaging the 97 percent of physicians currently not offering clinical research to their patients, has acquired
ePatientFinder’s
Clinical Trial Exchange technology platform and referring practice network, which is the largest of its kind. This acquisition will enhance Elligo’s trial matching process by incorporating ePatientFinder’s technology platform. Using this platform, Elligo will streamline patient identification and feasibility through automation using electronic health record (EHR) data within Elligo’s network of providers. “We believe this is an important strategic opportunity for Elligo to expand our technology and network growth capabilities,” said
John Potthoff
