Why Evinova (AstraZeneca)?
Evinova draws on AstraZeneca’s deep experience developing novel therapeutics, informed by insights from thousands of patients and clinical researchers.
Together, we can accelerate the delivery of life-changing medicines, improve the design and delivery of clinical trials for better patient experiences and outcomes, and think more holistically about patient care before, during, and after treatment.
We know that regulators, healthcare professionals, and care teams at clinical trial sites do not want a fragmented approach.
They do not want a future where every pharmaceutical company provides its own, different digital solutions. They want solutions that work across the sector, simplify their workload, and benefit patients broadly.
By bringing our solutions to the wider healthcare community, we can help build more unified approaches to how we all develop and deploy digital technologies, better serving our teams, physicians, and ultimately patients.
Evinova represents a unique opportunity to deliver meaningful outcomes with digital and AI to serve the wider healthcare community and create new standards for the sector.
Join us on our journey of building a new kind of health-tech business to reset expectations of what a bio-pharmaceutical company can be.
This means we’re opening new ways to work, pioneering cutting-edge methods, and bringing unexpected teams together.
