The list includes its editors’ picks of the top 50 life sciences firms that provide the most indispensable, enabling technologies to the biopharma industry.
Described as one of the companies driving the future of biomedical research and drug discovery, invivodata was selected based on the company’s scientific and regulatory leadership in the field of ePRO data capture. invivodata’s extensive peer-reviewed publications have helped showcase the inadequacy of paper diaries and influence the worldwide adoption of eDiaries.

“We are honored to be included in this list of best-of-class companies in the industry,” said Doug Engfer, president and CEO of invivodata. “In light of the FDA’s recently issued draft guidance on Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) in medical research development, trial sponsors are recognizing that scientific principles must be instilled in any technology that is going to deliver high-integrity PRO data.
