The ObvioHealth Team

The team that stands behind our technology is one of our most differentiating characteristics. Our clinical staff has decades of experience conducting trials for large pharma companies and CROs.

Executive Leadership

The ObvioHealth team is growing both in the U.S. and abroad. The Singapore office is now the company’s regional technology hub and collaborates with the U.S. platform team to drive the expansion of decentralized trials to APAC.
