VANCOUVER, BC, March 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - 1 in 3 people worldwide suffer from multiple chronic diseases,¹ and 85% of clinical trials struggle to enroll sufficient and diverse enough patients to bring lifesaving drugs to market for these diseases.²

With co-investment from DIGITAL, Canada's Global Innovation Cluster for digital technologies; RxPx is launching an 'AI Clinical Buddy System', to leverage AI towards enhancing patient recruitment, adherence, diversity, and engagement in clinical trials.
