Problem
Clinical research studies often struggle to identify, recruit, and retain eligible participants, especially when genetic biomarkers are required, leading to high costs, slow enrollment, and low retention rates.
Solution
Sano provides an integrated, 360° platform that combines patient recruitment, at‑home genetic testing, electronic medical record retrieval, and ongoing participant engagement. The service uses multi‑channel outreach—including genetic databases, AI‑driven medical record analysis, patient organizations, and digital advertising—to locate hard‑to‑reach patients. Once identified, participants receive at‑home saliva DNA kits processed by CLIA‑certified labs, with results and counseling managed within the platform. A virtual waiting room delivers personalized content, communications, and metrics tracking to keep participants engaged throughout the study lifecycle, reducing dropout rates and accelerating enrollment.
Target Audience
Sano’s primary customers are pharmaceutical sponsors, CROs, and research sites conducting precision‑medicine or biomarker‑driven clinical trials that require efficient patient finding and long‑term participant engagement.
