weLink also serves as a database of active study participants, through which researchers can re-engage participants and efficiently recruit for future studies, REMS, outcomes research, and market research.

weLink allows sponsors to gather patient input and interests, and better understand the benefit-risk calculations that patients consider when given the choice to participate in a study. This insight will better inform clinical study design in order to maximize recruitment, minimize patient attrition, and keep the patient at the center. Below are a sampling of the key attributes of weLink:

  • A customized version of weLink is created with sponsor branding; including a custom logo, graphics, and educational video
  • Healthcare articles that are updated on a daily basis
  • Individual study data is provided through safe and secure downloads
  • Study results provided in an easy-to-understand format
  • An alert system that sends alerts based on participant preferences about health conditions, study availability, or participation in a feasibility survey
