AstraZeneca Launches New Health-Tech Business: Evinova

AstraZeneca has recently launched a new health-tech business called Evinova, which utilizes the company’s knowledge of clinical trial design and study delivery. This venture aims to provide solutions at scale to trial sponsors, clinical research organizations, care teams, and patients.

Evinova’s offerings include improved data collection and machine learning algorithms to support teams designing their studies.
