Pharmaceutical Trials
We support pharmaceutical studies by providing an objective means of assessing people taking part.
Supporting Trials
Our Work
Clinical trials are essential to the development of new medical treatments and diagnostic tests. However, conventional methods can be subjective and limited. ClearSky Medical Diagnostics’ products are a recognised method choice for assessing characteristics of Parkinson’s and a whole range of neurological conditions. By using our technology, clinical trails are able to reach a level of objectivity that would not be achieved by traditional means.
