Folia Health and Inspire have joined forces in a groundbreaking partnership to bring real-time, personalized home health observations into the heart of clinical research. This collaboration supports a growing movement toward patient-centered, real-world data collection—driving smarter and more relevant drug development strategies.
With Inspire’s extensive online patient communities and Folia’s technology for structured home health data capture, the partnership gives researchers unprecedented access to the lived experiences of patients managing chronic and rare conditions at home.
“At Inspire, we believe that empowering patients and caregivers to contribute their lived experiences is essential to driving meaningful research. By integrating Folia’s innovative home-reported outcomes with our engaged health communities, we’re unlocking new possibilities for real-world evidence generation that reflects the true patient journey—ultimately accelerating patient-focused drug development.”
-- Richard Tsai, VP of Strategic Partnerships at Inspire.
Enabling Real-World Evidence from the Home
Folia’s platform empowers patients to track health details like symptoms, routines, and treatment responses—all from their own homes. When paired with Inspire’s ability to engage highly-targeted patient populations, this partnership helps researchers collect consistent, longitudinal data that reflects day-to-day realities—not just clinical snapshots.
This collaboration will be especially valuable in areas where caregiver input and nuanced symptom tracking are essential, such as rare diseases and pediatric care.
A Milestone for Personalized Research
Together, Folia and Inspire are advancing the future of decentralized trials and evidence generation by bringing patients closer to the research process. This partnership allows sponsors and researchers to develop protocols grounded in real life—not just clinical theory.
