Medable Allies with MRN to Support New Remote Care Capabilities and Continued Research During COVID-19

Medable Inc.and MRN announced a global alliance to bring shared capabilities to decentralized clinical trials. Medable will empower MRN’s home clinical trial specialists to conduct home and remote visits using Medable’s Trial-Fit Telemedicine. The app can be deployed in one week or less for use in existing trials. These capabilities are especially important for clinical trial continuity in spite of widespread shelter-in-place initiatives due to COVID-19.
