Our Services

A key to our success lies in our knowledge and hands-on experience of 75+ years. We have a clear and distinct advantage in understanding the needs of the market.

Biotech, Medtech, Healthtech

We are passionate about helping biotech, medtech, and healthtech companies navigate the complex pathway to achieving real-world impact. We understand the product development journey from proof of concept to clinical trials, regulatory approval, and market acceptance.

Know-how and technology can solve many of the largest current and future societal challenges. Unfortunately, too many technologies do not make it across the ‘valley of death’ from the lab to a commercial product. We help to navigate this complex field, bringing together viewpoints and strategies from across innovation and implementation lifecycles.

Emerald has been at the forefront of digital health, medicine, and therapeutics, working with pioneering international technology companies, providers, and patients. Building digital health ecosystems and employing digital medicine and therapeutics has led to transformative person-centered connected care.

We have a deep understanding of the health applications, infrastructure elements, and the categories of screening, monitoring, and diagnostic tools required for a connected healthcare ecosystem. This enables us to help businesses and organizations dedicated to improving people’s lives by using better tools and new working methods.

Data and Informatics

Turning clinical evidence and patient-reported data into intelligence for actionable insights is critical to realizing transformative patient-centered healthcare, with improved outcomes. Our capabilities arise from combined international experience in research, data analysis, and outcomes informatics.
