Take the next step
Be Part of the Future of Health Research
Whether you're a researcher or participant, Alethios makes health research effortless and impactful.
Academic partnerships with Alethios help institutions research more, faster, with fewer obstacles—streamlining IRB submission processes, offering participant support, faculty training, and more. Alethios gives academic institutions an affordable way to run rigorous research, with one platform to plan and run studies, recruit participants, monitor progress, and collect data. All in one place, at a fraction of the typical cost.
Ask an academic researcher what's actually standing between them and the study they want to run; cost is rarely the whole answer, and researcher ability is never part of it at all. It's limited funding, compliance tools built for pharmaceutical research, weak workarounds for whatever the protocol needs their tools can't support, and a recruitment plan limited to whoever happens to live near trial sites. Those are the challenges that we broke down in our last blog post, "Getting Academic and Research Institutions the Best Tools for Clinical Research," and now we're focusing on solutions. In this blog post, we want to explore how Alethios can help academic institutions overcome these challenges because the limits of research should be imagination, not access.
Alethios can accommodate just about any type of decentralized clinical trial, from structured testimonial gathering to a first pilot study or a tenth double-blind, placebo-controlled RCT. Here's what Alethios can do for academic researchers:
For too long, academic research teams have adapted their protocols to their tools. Depending on REDCap and other free platforms means keeping your protocol and data collection simple, or cobbling together scattered workarounds when it isn't—Alethios provides infrastructure that you can shape around your study design, not the other way around.
Alethios supports surveys and validated questionnaires, but that's only one of many data collection types. The platform is customizable and accommodates multiple endpoints within a study. Multimodal collection possibilities aren't add-ons, they're the default. Alethios supports four primary types of data collection.
Alethios offers an organized, cohesive platform to incorporate and track multiple endpoints and types of data collection, and the range of supported endpoints keeps growing.
As mentioned in our previous blog, staying compliant can be difficult and time-consuming for research teams, especially without a single hub that contains study design and protocol, recruitment screening, consent forms, event reporting, participant tracking, data collection, and compensation distribution. With everything in one place on Alethios, compliance isn't a separate task, it's built in.
Beyond easily managed consent forms and event reporting, Alethios generates an IRB-submission-ready study download and provides support throughout the IRB review process.
Alethios makes distribution easy: track and manage kit shipping yourself through a clear, organized dashboard, or let us handle shipping for you. Either way, Alethios is there to support your research team throughout the process.
One of the biggest challenges in running clinical studies is recruitment and adherence, and Alethios can help with both. Decentralized recruitment makes it easier to study a representative population, and at-home studies solve a lot of the adherence problems that come with requiring someone to show up in person. Alethios makes it even easier.
Alethios can create IRB-ready ads for you to run yourself through social media or other platforms. Or, we can help you recruit from the Alethiad Participant Community, a group of 40k engaged citizen scientists interested in clinical research across the country.
We offer milestone-based compensation, so participants are paid as they progress through the study, rather than only at the end. This makes it easier for participants and researchers to see who's on track by creating built-in checkpoints, and it acknowledges participant effort along the way.
In addition, Alethios provides automated reminders via email, and participants can configure other notification types depending on what works best for them.
On average, Alethios studies fully enroll in 27 days—and some in a matter of hours—and maintain 90+% adherence.
Alethios is designed to be flexible and easy to use, but we know research is difficult, and we're here to help when and where you need it. We can help research teams navigate IRB submissions and troubleshoot any issues on the platform. In addition, we can provide participant support and offer ways to reduce the need for it, like setting up study-specific FAQs.
Academic partners can access Alethios' Study Planner to digitize your research team's protocol or use AI-QuickStart to create the protocol in the platform. After that, you can configure your study design, add endpoints, design personalized study kit distribution flows, and download it all to submit for IRB approval.
Once your study starts, the Study Operator handles real-time monitoring: watch data as it comes in, export data, and assign roles and permissions to stay compliant and maintain best practices. It also tracks kit distribution and participant onboarding, and lets you compensate participants with a single click.
The platform starts at $100/month, with further discounted rates for academic institutions. Pricing includes the Study Planner, the Study Operator, faculty training, study support, and access to our Alethiad Participant Community. Academic pricing adds a discounted annual license and a flexible, discounted per-study fee.
None of the barriers we started with, cost, funding uncertainty, compliance hurdles, recruitment limits, are questions of academic rigor, ability, or ambition. They're questions of access. The tools capable of closing that gap have existed for a while; they just weren't built with academic budgets, timelines, or oversight requirements in mind.
Alethios is built for exactly that gap. If that's the infrastructure your academic institution's research needs, reach out for an academic discount code or learn more about academic partnerships.
