Enabling capture of vital and non-vital signs through connected medical devices, sensors and wearables - with over 1m devices included to date

eConsent

Seamlessly obtain informed consent with engaging and educational content that can build trust and support retention³

Telemedicine

Provide tele-visit and tele-consent, messaging and clinical support through secure video and audio consultations, to make logistics and communication easier³

Carers and proxies

Increase inclusivity by allowing participants to add carers and proxies who can respond to study activities on their behalf

Educational content

Engage and inform participants with educational content about the research study, how it will operate, ongoing support and relevant contact details

Site performance analytics

Manage multiple sites within a web-based portal, with data on target enrolment numbers, recruitment performance and study protocol compliance

Participant-level monitoring

Allows real-time visualisation of participant data, with built-in flagging systems to detect non-compliance or clinical events, to intervene as necessary

Permission layers

Smart analytics dashboards with deep and configurable permission layers for easy access to data for all relevant stakeholders

Telemedicine

Sponsors and CROs can securely communicate with participants through messages, video and audio calls. Remote visits can be scheduled or participants can be contacted immediately³

Supporting AstraZeneca with an international Phase IV study

AstraZeneca selected our DCT platform to support one of the world’s largest decentralized clinical trials. Designed to use remote recruitment, ID verification, and safety data collection through our secure platform, the first patient was recruited less than three months after the project was signed. In order to ensure access for all populations, participants have multiple means to engage and are able to submit data on either an app, web portal or through a call centre.

Powering a DCT in atrial fibrillation with Bayer and Stanford Medicine

Huma, Bayer, Stanford Medicine and the Stanford Center for Digital Health together demonstrated the feasibility, for the first time, of a scalable, fully decentralized cardiovascular intervention trial requiring remote physiologic measurements among participants with atrial fibrillation. The trial had a robust recruitment strategy and strong engagement. Participants successfully transmitted physiologic BP and ECG measurements, tracked OAC adherence, completed regular surveys and televisits using Huma’s DCT platform. The findings provide a strong foundation to inform the design and conduct of future decentralized protocols for cardiovascular trials.

Pioneering a decentralized clinical study with the University of Cambridge

Huma partnered with the University of Cambridge (Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit) to understand the progression of COVID-19 infection and build predictive models for pre-symptomatic infection. The study uses Huma’s digital platform to remotely collect data from nearly 2,500 participants from the Fenland cohort. This builds on 15 years worth of retrospective data to generate new insights and a joint analytics dataset for digital biomarker discovery.

Interventional Trial For High-Risk Type 2 Diabetes Patients

The study is a collaboration between Huma, Astra Zeneca and Imperial Health Partners. With the initial promising results from the interventional trial that included 600 participants, the aim is to scale the programme nationally, to create a real-world dataset to support high-quality research and transform care pathways for patients with type 2 diabetes, reducing complications and improving outcomes.
