Significant unmet needs persist for patients with chronic and complex conditions, across hematological, immunological, neurological, and rare diseases.  Biopharma companies working to bring new options to market for patients are hampered with decreasing R&D productivity and inefficient evidence generation strategies that cost too much and take too long.  Biopharma companies are increasingly turning to real-world evidence (RWE) to provide enterprise value across use cases along the drug development life cycle, while simultaneously driving increased time and cost efficiencies.  However, gaps remain in evidence generation strategies due to the fragmented US healthcare system and resulting data silos.  

PicnicHealth employs a patient-centric approach to generate the highest quality, longitudinal real-word data that cuts across data silos and extracts deep clinical information- fueling cutting edge research while giving patients control of their health record. These comprehensive, patient-centric, real-world datasets produce unique insights - across multiple therapeutic areas - not available from any other source.  We do this by working directly with patients and leveraging state of the art machine learning techniques to transform their messy medical records into structured, accurate, and useful data. Patients then access their data through an easy-to-use, secure online dashboard and choose to participate in, and benefit from, research on their condition along with other PicnicHealth users. 

To date, we’ve helped tens of thousands of patients, partnered with some of the world’s largest life science companies (including 7 of the Top 10), and raised more than $100M including from B Capital, Felicis Ventures, Amplify Partners, and Y Combinator. 

And we are just getting started! If you are looking to join an award winning, mission-driven, motivated team that is making a real impact across millions of people’s lives, PicnicHealth might just be the place for you.
