We needed help with patient recruitment and clinical trials. We had an internal development team, but we needed support.

Virtual Nomad has helped us develop a custom software solution that allows pharma companies to speed up their drug development. We initially helped them to identify the patients for the clinical trials and delivered them a lot of statistics about our hospital network and patients. They’ve provided testing and development services; 90% of the resources do testing and 10% do the development.

We have a vast distributed search engine in many hospitals worldwide. It’s a distributed cloud solution that allows us to access real-time patient data from many hospitals.

Additionally, Virtual Nomad is responsible for release management; they control the build before going to the release. The test services are broad.

Currently, we have one senior JavaScript software developer and three testers.
