AstraZeneca has announced the launch of Evinova, poised to become a leading provider in the digital health solutions domain. Backed by AstraZeneca and collaborating with Parexel and Fortrea, Evinova aims to deliver globally-scaled digital products and services to the life sciences and healthcare sectors.

Evinova’s primary focus will be on marketing proven digital technology solutions, already globally implemented by AstraZeneca, to enhance clinical trial designs and delivery. This initiative is expected to significantly reduce the time and cost of developing new medicines, facilitate patient care at home, and alleviate the burden on health systems. Additionally, Evinova is set to expand into digital remote patient monitoring and digital therapeutics, with a robust pipeline of digital innovations in these areas.

Leveraging AstraZeneca’s extensive experience in developing novel therapeutics and insights from patients and clinical researchers, Evinova will offer established technology solutions to pharmaceutical companies, biotechs, and CROs to support global clinical research.
