About Hawthorne Effect:

Founded in 2015 in the San Francisco Bay Area, Hawthorne Effect is on a mission to radically change how clinical trials are conducted. We make it possible for anyone to enroll in a clinical trial regardless of geography, health, mobility, access to transportation, cost or other factors that can result in exclusion.

To accomplish mission, we work with clinical trial investigative sites and sponsors to move clinical trial screening and follow-up visits out of the clinic and into patients' homes, making it possible for more people to enroll in and stay enrolled in clinical trials. Enabling this service is a proprietary technology platform to enable visit management and a network of healthcare providers whom we call Heroes who conduct protocolized visits. Heroes are RNs, PAs, NPs, MDs and med tech professionals who are interested in professional development, fostering innovation, and sharing meaningful interaction with patients for whom clinical trials are about hope.

In fulfilling its’ mission, HE delivers comprehensive and timely data for investigators and innovators (biotech, med-tech, pharma). By enabling patient follow-up anytime, anywhere, HE helps clinical trial sponsors increase access to and diversity within clinical trials to bring medical innovations to patients sooner and more cost effectively.

Our mission is to make clinical trials accessible and convenient for everyone, everywhere.

If you are all about human connection, have extraordinary passion, embrace technology designed to be useful and empowering, and want to disrupt brick and mortar healthcare, we want to meet you.
