With the rise of nontraditional, often lower-cost healthcare provider outlets such as retail clinics, urgent care centers and telemedicine alternatives, patients have more choices for where to seek medical care than ever before.
Clinical trials are vital to medical research as they’re often the best and only way to test new interventions, such as treatments or drugs.

With a blend of proprietary technology and statistical advisory services, we help public and private sector organizations find, understand, and connect with the people they care about, so they can stop guessing and start using statistical proof to guide decisions. We know others use “data science” and “analytics” as buzzwords, but at Civis we don’t stand for fluff, and we will always deliver scalable products and technologies — not PowerPoints — to drive your business forward.
