Our story

In 2021, our founder Johan Lauritsen experienced the difficulties and disappointments associated with finding a relevant clinical trial. Johan is diagnosed with 5q SMA 2, a chronic and rare neurodegenerative disorder.

At the time being, there was fortunately a lot of ongoing research on this disease, meaning a lot of ongoing clinical trials.

Even though he managed to find a trial, based on back-to-back communications with physicians and reading inclusion criteria such as “Backup gene copy number” “HFMSE score” etc. – he was denied access to a US trial due to the application process taking longer than the recruitment period (>3 months).

At the time, Johan was a medical student and former researcher. He then combined his bright mind and medical knowledge to draw the very first draft of PROBE. He then pitched the idea to the “Copenhagen Health Innovation”, and after winning the competition, things started to rocket.

Vision

We wish to make it easy for the general population to engage with clinical research. It is our vision to achieve this by unlocking the potential of clinical trials. To make treatments reach patients faster and to shape a better future standard of care.

Business model

PROBE is a two-sided market platform for trial participants and researchers. We offer services such as pre-filtered leads for trial recruitment based on the profile of health data and the motivation to participate of the user themselves

Participants

The concept of clinical research isn’t exactly easy to understand. Engaging in clinical research and potentially participating in clinical trials really takes some energy.

What is it? Why should you participate? How do you even participate?

For way too long, clinical research has been something requiring extensive prior knowledge within the field to feel confident enough to interact with it. PROBE is an AI-powered research platform, that uses AI to suggest relevant clinical research projects to our users, based on their health data. Our design is created together with patient organisations, and by the patients leading PROBE.

We’re on a mission to make clinical research easy and rewarding for everyone to engage with.

We hope you want to join us on our journey! You won’t regret it!

Researchers

PROBE wishes to make an all-in-one research platform, that over time has effective solutions for various hurdles within clinical research. Examples include participant recruitment, participant management, data sharing, trial design, regulatory applications and so on.

We are founded by both patients, physicians and other clinical researchers, which means that we understand the need of the individual researcher(s), from the individual trials, from the individual research and disease areas.

Researchers simply follow the flow after pressing “get started” and then everything should be self-explanatory. If not, please do not hesitate to contact us!
