About Orb

“Patients who feel understood and valued are more likely to enroll and remain committed to the trial, reducing dropout rates and enhancing the quality of data collected.”

Did you know?

Branded clinical trials see up to 40% higher patient engagement.

The right message, paired with thoughtful design, can directly impact patient engagement and the success of your trial. Clear messaging will help to instill confidence in your patients, affirm their choice in participating, and also minimize operational hurdles. And when the visual brand and imagery align seamlessly with the purpose of the trial, you’re more likely to attract participants who are genuinely interested and suited for the study, thus optimizing its success.

The advantages are clear: better recruitment and improved retention rates. Patients who feel understood and valued are more likely to enroll and remain committed to the trial, which in turn can reduce dropout rates and enhance the quality of data you collect. Effective branding of clinical trials bridges the gap between complex medical research and patient communities, ensuring better outcomes for both researchers and participants.
