Clara Health Performance
Industry Performance
4.5x higher click rates on outreach
Increase awareness of and engagement with your study, at scale, faster than ever before.

With Clara's proprietary datasets, targeting models, and patient co-developed outreach materials, every recruitment campaign is optimized across multiple vectors from Day 1. This means that your trial reaches and engages more of your target patient and caregiver populations, faster than ever before.
4.5% click-through rates
0.83% click-through rates
60% higher form submission rates
When more of your interested patients feel empowered to take next steps towards enrollment, overall study recruitment pace accelerates.

Because Clara HQ's study pages were co-developed with patients to support a diverse patient population with varying levels of physical needs, tech literacy, internet connectivity, and socioeconomic statuses, more patients can turn their interest into action.

Why form submission rates matter

High click-through rates means that your study is receiving a lot of interested visitors. However, it's not necessarily so that these visitors will take any action towards enrollment.

That's why submission rates matter. The higher your study's digital screen or contact form completion rates are, the more effectively you are able to turn a visitor's initial interest into concrete next steps.

The Clara HQ platform was designed with exactly this in mind, which is why our combination of patient-accessible design, easy-to-complete digital screening, and embedded live support all combine to enable 60% more of the patients interested in your study to start their enrollment process.

How recentralized trials increase diversity

Truly patient-centric trials recruit faster, retain more participants, and increase diversity within applicants and participants.

Recentralized clinical trials are effortless to find, simpler to apply to, seamless to enroll in, and support participants through the end of the study. And when your trial is that seamless, it grows more diverse and garners higher levels of engagement.

Clara HQ makes it a snap to create a more communicative and patient-centered experience for any part of your clinical trial, so that your team can better engage, qualify, enroll, and retain the patients that will propel your research forward.
