The partnership enables advanced AI-fueled HD video capture, decision support, and clinical research tools for Alimentiv’s global clinical trial investigator site network.
Alimentiv Inc. (“Alimentiv”), Satisfai Health, Inc (“Satisfai”), and Virgo Surgical Video Solutions, Inc. (“Virgo”) today announced a strategic partnership to revolutionize central reading, data capture, decision support, and patient recruitment in the clinical trial domain for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and allied GI conditions. Satisfai, a global leader in developing artificial intelligence solutions for gastroenterology, and Virgo, an industry leader in endoscopy video capture technology, will leverage their combined strengths to work in partnership with Alimentiv, a leading CRO in gastroenterology, to realize the full potential of AI-powered precision imaging in the GI clinical trials space.
“This synergy of Satisfai and Virgo with Alimentiv is a positive development for patients with IBD and the drug development space. Clinical trials have many pain points, and this strategic partnership will enable advances in improving the efficiency of clinical trials and make some significant changes to how trials are run”, said Jeff Smith, CEO of Alimentiv. “We are delighted to enter this arrangement to bring the next generation of imaging technology to clinical trials in gastroenterology.”
“Artificial Intelligence in medicine is being increasingly adopted across various clinical specialties, with gastroenterology being one key field of use, particularly endoscopy,” said Dr. Michael Byrne, CEO and founder of Satisfai Health, Clinical Professor of Medicine and gastroenterologist in Vancouver. “Working with Virgo, we are excited to bring AI-driven solutions to the IBD clinical trials arena. To be able to do so with Alimentiv — a leading Gastroenterology and imaging CRO—is a great opportunity. Our clear ambition is to change the clinical trial paradigm for IBD and other disease states such as Eosinophilic Esophagitis. As three groups working together, we are confident we can do so.”
“Combining Satisfai’s marquis AI solutions with Virgo’s HIPAA and SOC 2 compliant automated cloud video capture technology and Alimentiv’s 21CFR11 compliant solutions, expansive site community, and imaging expertise is very powerful. We truly look forward to realizing this vision and bringing real-time, in-line AI solutions to GI clinical trials worldwide,” said Matthew Schwartz, CEO and co-founder at Virgo.
This partnership will facilitate Alimentiv’s continued leadership in GI Clinical Trials through exclusive access to Satisfai’s SmartScore Central Reading tool and Virgo’s fully integrated, hands-free, cloud-based high-definition video-capture fleet. In addition, this will provide pharmaceutical and biotech sponsors with access to the ongoing development of novel endpoints, scoring methodologies, and scalable solutions geared toward bringing novel therapies to market faster.
