We’re building the most patient-friendly way to access clinical trials

"A close friend of mine discovered a brain tumor before she turned 30. I watched as she took control of her own care to enroll in a promising clinical trial which she found independently. She deciphered medical criteria, convinced her doctors, and declined certain treatments in order to qualify. All of this on her own in an overwhelming time. Her journey inspired us to build a platform to help other patients navigate similar situations."

"I had my first run in with the clinical trial space when my Dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (discovered when he fractured a vertebrae doing chores around the home). Despite a background in science, I struggled for weeks to understand which therapies were most promising for him, and how he might be able to access them. My hope with Power is that we can make it easier for families everywhere to evaluate and access cutting edge therapies, so folks in a similar position can spend less time on research and more time attending to their loved ones."

"My partner works in an acute pediatric setting and has shared with me the challenges these families have navigating care for their children. I’m excited by the opportunity to help all patients and their loved ones find the right clinical trials for timely care."

"For years I have believed a platform like this should exist and watched as others have tried, unsuccessfully, to bring the idea to life. When I saw what Power has been able to achieve in connecting patients, sites and sponsors in a new and meaningful way, I knew this was a team I wanted to join."

“Not everyone has a family doctor, let alone access to a top-tier research hospital! I’m enthusiastic that Power can democratize patient access to novel treatments and help patients receive care that they might not otherwise have been exposed to.”

"In 2005, my baby sister Lauren was diagnosed with pneumonia. The symptoms escalated, and what started as a common infection spiralled into a life-threatening situation. She spent over two months in the ICU. Thanks to her strong will and the amazing care team at SickKids hospital, Lauren survived and has since thrived. This taught me how important hope is during such frightening times. My aspiration is Power can help anyone navigate the world of healthcare and find treatment providing hope and the best possible chance of survival."

"I've watched my parents, who both work in healthcare, impact the lives of others in a very meaningful way, one patient at a time. I hope that my work Power can have a macro impact on patients by democratizing access to treatment and helping patients find new options for care that they may not find otherwise."

"I had to navigate clinical trials when my brother-in-law was diagnosed with late-stage cancer - the information we found on clinical trial websites was dense and not actionable, and unfortunately, we lost him a few months later. My hope with Power is that patients anywhere can find, choose and enroll in the right clinical trials easily and on time."

"I'll never forget the look in my Mother's eyes when she said “what are my options?”. She was battling Leukemia. Her medicine had stopped working. While sitting in the doctor's office, we were presented with just one option for a new treatment that had less than a 50/50 chance of a positive outcome. I'm doing all I can with Power to ensure others have better options to learn about treatments."

"I'm motivated by the potential that technology has to improve public health. The technology we’re building at Power connects patients and researchers in a way that accelerates medical research, and the discovery of life-saving treatments."

"I am motivated every day by the opportunity to contribute to accelerating medical research. It's very fulfilling knowing that we're building something that will help patients access leading medical research more easily."

"I grew up watching my mother participate in a clinical trial. A few years later, early in my internship with Power, I used our platform to find and participate in a clinical trial of my own. I've seen firsthand how illness can impact a family, and I’ve also seen the hope that clinical research can bring to people who manage to find and participate in trials. I hope to make this process easier for all the families like mine."

"When I was 16, I lost the grandmother who helped raise me to breast cancer, and I just recently lost my father-in-law who helped raise my toddlers to appendix cancer. Personally, I have seen first-hand that the current clinical trial landscape is nearly impossible for patients to navigate, and professionally, I have experienced the frustration of 80%+ of trials being delayed due to enrollment. I'm thrilled to be at Power where we're ensuring that all patients have equitable access to life saving treatments and that medical innovation has a better chance to save lives."

"Medical innovation is accelerating, yet the cost of developing a new drug is doubling every decade. This leads to negative consequences for patients, families, and society at large. I'm really excited about how Power can help patients find potentially life-saving treatments and accelerate the pace of medical innovation."

“Growing up, 3 of my cousins were diagnosed with a rare disease known as Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. Navigating the medical space and looking for promising treatments was a full time job for my aunt and uncle. My hope with Power is that the burden on patients will disappear and families can spend less time looking for treatments and more time on the things that matter”

“My sister’s leukemia diagnosis made me acutely aware of the challenges in accessing timely treatment information. This experience inspired my passion for improving patient care. I joined Power because their mission to streamline patient recruitment for clinical trials resonates with me. By enhancing the patient experience and making care more accessible, even small improvements can make a significant difference. At Power, I am committed to reducing the burden on patients and supporting the development of life-changing treatments.”

“When I made the switch from Pre-Med to an Economics major in college, it was with high hopes that I could make a macro-level impact on the medical industry by approaching it from a different angle. I have always been passionate about expanding and improving access to quality health care, especially to underserved populations, but when my brother was diagnosed with cancer right as I graduated from college, I experienced first hand how medical research and clinical trials can fundamentally change families’ entire lives. I am excited to play a role in democratizing access to medical treatments and ensuring medical research has the chance to touch, and learn from, all lives.”

“Becoming a father transformed my life, reshaping my priorities and how I aim to make an impact professionally. This change ignited a passion to focus my career on causes that matter deeply to me. Joining Power allows me to help democratize medical research access and promote inclusivity for everyone. It’s a mission that aligns with my values and motivates me to contribute to meaningful change.”

“Working in biotech, it was clear to me that patient recruitment for clinical trials was among the key bottlenecks to impactful treatments reaching patients. Power’s mission of democratizing access to medical treatments strongly resonated with me. I am thrilled to work with the team at Power to play a part in improving collective human health."

During my mother’s recent chemotherapy treatment, I learned that her medication was part of a clinical trial 12 years ago. It took just over a month to get it to her, a timeline that can be critical for many patients. This experience highlighted the importance of timely access to clinical trials.

I wanted to join an early-stage team that celebrated creative problem-solving, practical proximity to users (in our case, to patients), and dedication to craft. I found all of these and a heck of a lot more at Power. I think that our care for our patients is all that rivals our care for each other. I can’t understate the pleasure of working with Power folks to solve user problems; we sure have a good time doing what we do.
