The MedTech Breakthrough Awards, recognizing health technology innovation globally, received entries from over 18 countries. Steve Johansson, managing director, praised Scout for making trials more accessible. "The biggest challenge in the industry is clinical trial patients adhering to and remaining in their respective trials," said Johansson. "For the second year in a row, we recognize Scout for providing a seamless, stress-free experience for patients participating in clinical trials."

Scout's comprehensive Scout Clinical service suite extends beyond the Scout Portal, encompassing full management of travel and payment logistics. Offering multiple payment options and catering to diverse travel needs, Scout ensures a smooth, hassle-free experience for clinical trial participants.
