Top Clinical Trials Startups in 2024

TrialSpark is transforming the way new medical treatments are brought to market. We’re a technology company that runs end-to-end clinical trials through a network of our own TrialSpark-operated trial sites, making the entire lifecycle of clinical trials more efficient, accessible, and patient-centric. We're growing quickly and would love to have you join us!

As population continues to age, there is a growing demand for motor rehabilitation services. The problem is that the way we address this growth or rehabilitation services (physical therapy) has not changed in thirty years because we are still heavily reliant on a one-to-one patient therapist interaction which is costly, non scalable, and difficult to ensure consistent quality. At SWORD Health, we saw the opportunity to take a truly disruptive and transformative approach to this problem by creating the first digital therapy solution that addresses the growing demand for therapy while reducing costs, empowering patients with their recovery to ultimately recover faster, and providing a rich source of data for clinical teams and decision makers.

Mendel’s confounders are a physician and a computer scientist. Each dreamed of building a “Jarvis” for medicine since they were 15 years old. Mendel envisions a future where machines learn from all patients and power better decisions across the entire spectrum of healthcare.

Leapcure is a global team of thought leaders who elevate patient interactions to progress research for all. We do this with a purposeful, brave culture that deeply connects to each of our personal values. Through innovative technology and empathetic conversations, our impact is limitless.

Technology accelerates progress and connects the world with new possibilities. Now take that idea, aim it at the healthcare landscape, and you’ve got a technology platform we call NORA®. It’s our Network Oriented Research Assistant that brings research directly to patients in their homes through telemedicine. In the real-world, time makes or breaks a project; distance means limits. We designed NORA as the solution: Reach patients wherever they are, cut the distance in the physical world, and ensure end-to-end management in a clinical trial. Sounds dreamy, right? It’s technology built to humanize science from the first steps of trial design. A tech triumph, it’s a practical, innovative way to make a positive impact on our communities. Maybe you’ve pictured science as something that can only come from a sterile lab. That’s not us. We’re actively meeting needs in underserved populations. We’re bustling and tinkering with breakthrough technology. And we’re always mindful about how science can serve the world. Bold in our approach, we’re changing the healthcare landscape for the better and making science a focal point in people’s lives.
