About Carebox

Carebox connects patients and physicians exploring treatment options with clinical trials, using transformational clinical trial matching technology.

Our Carebox Connect™ web sites have already been visited by over a million patients and physicians. Trial sponsors, research centers, and patient advocacy groups use Carebox Connect™ to add patient-centric matching functionality to their presentation of clinical trial portfolios, in support of ongoing clinical research communications and outreach campaigns, to improve disclosure of their research, and to engage patients and doctors to accelerate the matching and referral of pre-screened patients to trial sites.
