He also stated, “Most importantly, it [VigiLanz Research] also connects people with opportunities for life-changing treatments that could help them live longer, healthier lives.”

After VigiLanz’ launch, Sharp HealthCare entered a partnership with VigiLanz to utilize the VigiLanz Research solution in an acute cardiac clinical trial. The trial, according to VigiLanz, had a complex protocol and challenging patient enrollment requirements.

With near real-time updates, we can now identify and enroll subjects who may have otherwise been missed.”
