About Lightship

Lightship Solutions revolutionizes the traditional clinical trial model by making clinical research accessible to the 94% of people who cannot participate in conventional trials. The company specializes in Direct to Patient (DtP) clinical trials, partnering with pharmaceutical companies to deliver comprehensive services from patient recruitment to study completion.

Lightship's proprietary mobile patient application serves as a central hub for study activities, enhancing the patient experience and streamlining monitoring processes. This electronic platform enables remote monitoring, resulting in better quality data and lower costs. The company also provides investigators, research nurses, and study coordinators to conduct visits, ensuring expedited timelines and streamlined operations. Lightship operates in the clinical research market, primarily serving pharmaceutical companies looking to conduct efficient and patient-centric clinical trials. The business model focuses on providing end-to-end DtP clinical trial services, making money through partnerships and service fees.
