Approximately 60 to 70 million people are affected by a digestive disease, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Yet there are multiple challenges in evaluating the benefit of therapeutic products for GI conditions, including small efficacy margins, large placebo effects, outcome measures overly reliant on patient reporting, and the risk of missing adverse events.
ObvioHealth’s virtual study design and user-friendly app breaks down barriers to traditional GI research. Stool samples can be collected at home and sent to a lab.
Patient reported data on taboo topics like flatulence and bowel movements is collected through the app without the need for face-to-face conversations with a physician. This results in higher retention rates as well as more complete and better data.

Recruitment & Onboarding
Recruitment is often a huge barrier to trial success, particularly for GI studies. ObvioHealth uses digital targeting methods to find untapped populations. We identify the online behaviors that point to people with a positive pre-disposition for a specific trial and, because our studies are virtual, we are not geographically tied to a site location. Data is collected through our proprietary app, giving participants more privacy in their responses.
Once recruited, we enroll participants through virtual prescreening/screening and e-consent. This eliminates the burdensome cost of site retention and staffing requirements, and often shortens the recruitment period.
Outcomes Measurement
The ObvioHealth platform and app incorporates multiple data capture technologies to adapt to the needs of any given trial. These include simple survey-type completion of questionnaires and diaries, image, video and audio capture and use of wearables. Complementary data collection methods ensure more robust data based on real world outcomes.
Symptoms of GI disorders can be physically uncomfortable, but also quite awkward to discuss with a doctor, leading to fear of embarrassment in face to face interactions. GI study subjects are generally more willing to contribute to research, knowing they can participate from the comfort and discretion of their homes without the burden of traveling to site visits.

Logistics Management
Our platform makes it easy to trigger, track and manage products and payment of incentives. ObvioHealth can reimburse participants with the stipend program that is fully virtual. We ship any needed study supplies or devices directly to the participant’s home.
Medication Adherence & Adverse Events
An important advantage of ObvioHealth’s app is the real time remote monitoring of medication adherence and potential adverse events. Our escalating system of reminders and immediate AE/SAE detection make our studies safer, while also improving medication adherence.

Higher compliance, higher retention, more accurate data
Our easy-to-use, convenient app makes it easier for participants to remain compliant. There is little to no time wasted travelling to clinical sites, so there are fewer drop-outs. All of this means that studies end on time or ahead of schedule. And because participants are able to report more real world and real time experiences, the resulting data is more accurate and reliable.
