Unlocking the Power of Patient Data & Engagement to Enhance Clinical Outcomes and Streamline Clinical Research for Life Sciences & Healthcare Partners

SAN DIEGO & BOSTON: SEQSTER PDM Inc. (“SEQSTER”), the leading patient-centric healthcare technology company, and PatientsLikeMe (PLM), the leading integrated patient engagement, activation and health tracking platform, announce a strategic partnership to leverage SEQSTER’s Operating System and PLM’s patient trusted health communities to accelerate clinical research, enhance long-term patient engagement, and optimize clinical trial recruitment.

“This partnership unlocks enormous value for patients, researchers, life science and healthcare companies, driving the last-mile data connectivity and accelerating clinical trials with real-time EHR data," said Ardy Arianpour, CEO and Co-Founder of SEQSTER. “Our joint solution empowers patient communities and researchers with Regulatory-Grade EHR Data, driving better research, faster drugs to market, and Real-World Evidence."

SEQSTER will serve as PLM's Electronic Health Record (EHR) provider to enable rapid and accurate patient screening for clinical trial opportunities and to improve the patient onboarding experience to reduce dropout rates. Additionally, PLM enables pharmaceutical companies to sponsor condition-specific communities on its platform that provide patients with a broader set of connected health tools and resources to manage their health journeys. Within these communities, SEQSTER’s capabilities will be accessible, allowing for ongoing surveillance and real-world data (RWD) collection, enhancing the depth and quality of data collected, while driving greater patient engagement. This will also support digital engagement and educational efforts at key points in the patient journey, as well as to meet patient registry needs.

"Partnering with SEQSTER empowers us to realize the full potential of our patient communities and elevate the value we deliver to our partners," said John Hervey, CEO of PatientsLikeMe. "By integrating seamless EHR access and real-world data collection into our platform, we are not only accelerating the pace of medical research but also transforming real-world data into real-world evidence that drives better patient outcomes for all."

SEQSTER and PatientsLikeMe (PLM) will work together to develop a patient benefit initiative designed to support overall care navigation, condition-management and enhance patient engagement with healthcare providers (HCPs). By offering integrated tools and resources as part of PatientsLikeMe’s connected health networks, SEQSTER and PLM aim to create a connected experience that provides consumers with personalized digital care pathways, that offer the value and convenience, while creating opportunities to develop new care delivery models with our partners that improve outcomes, overall consumer satisfaction, while managing cost of care.
