ICON plc

HumanFirst is now an ICON plc company. Our Atlas platform enables the rapid and effective assessment, selection and deployment of evidence-backed digital measures in clinical trials. Together with ICON-sponsored Mapi Research Trust, we enable researchers to select fit-for-purpose tools and assessments to de-risk trial deployment and develop patient-centered clinical strategies that increase the likelihood of regulatory approval.

Thank you to all who came out for our panel session at #DIA2024 -- It was a great discussion, and we're excited about this next chapter where we'll work closely with Mapi Research Trust to build out an endpoint selection framework that can help researchers with more efficient protocol design. #clinicaltrials #patientoutcomes

How did an earlier stage startup like HumanFirst find success, despite being in a highly regulated industry dominated by established, large organizations? 
A big contributing factor was how our CX team, led by Abby DeVito, built a toolkit of problem solving, relationship building, and storytelling. 

Read on for how this toolkit influenced HumanFirst's go-to-market approach, product strategy, and ultimately, helped lead us to an acquisition by ICON plc. https://lnkd.in/guhitS_Z

#DIA2024 is around the corner, and we're looking forward to it! 

If you're attending, stop by our forum on June 19 at 8am PT to learn how a new framework to identify and compare biomarkers across both actively collected & passively-monitored COAs can enable rapid, evidence-based, and fit-for-purpose measures selection for clinical research.  

Moderated by Caprice Sassano and including speakers Roya Sherafat-Kazemzadeh (MD, PhD) Megan Parisi, MS, CCRP and Thomas Switzer, this forum will build off of our recent paper in Nature Magazine's npj Digital Medicine : https://lnkd.in/eQG9PGWG
