Founded in 2018

EMAW began with a mission to revolutionize real-world data collection through Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMAs) and wearable/sensor technologies. Early on, we recognized the power of remote, patient-centric insights to transform clinical research.

The Turning Point: Pre-COVID Innovation

Just before the pandemic, sponsor partners challenged us to expand beyond EMAs—asking for a seamless way to capture eCOA (electronic Clinical Outcome Assessments) and digital biomarkers alongside wearable data. Thanks to our agile, purpose-built architecture, adding these capabilities was technologically simple and highly scalable. This flexibility allowed us to deliver a cost-effective, unified solution at a time when the industry needed it most.

Sponsor-Recognized Value

Trusted by Sponsors. Designed for the Future.

Sponsor partners consistently point to EMAW’s meaningful advantage in the market. While larger, private equity–backed eCOA vendors often deliver expensive, slow, and fragmented solutions, EMAW offers a faster, more affordable alternative—especially for smaller sponsors and early-phase trials.

Our founders are not just technologists—they are practicing scientists. Through deep involvement in clinical studies, they’ve co-authored multiple posters and peer-reviewed papers with trial sponsors. More publications are on the way as large-scale studies wrap up.

Why Legacy eCOA Falls Short

Legacy Systems Can’t Keep Up

Sponsors often express frustration with traditional eCOA providers. These outdated platforms are cobbled together from multiple, poorly integrated systems, creating unnecessary complexity and cost. The result? Slower trials, more errors, and greater risk.

  • Require multiple devices and apps

    Legacy platforms often rely on separate apps for patients, clinicians, and admins. This leads to confusion, device overload, and added burden for sites and users.
  • Fragmented and siloed data flows

    With disconnected systems, data gets routed through multiple channels, increasing the chance of loss, inconsistency, and integration issues later on.
  • Sluggish system performance

    Old technology stacks are slower, harder to scale, and frequently can’t keep up with modern trial complexity or hybrid study demands.
  • High maintenance and hidden costs

    More devices and systems mean more IT headaches. Sponsors end up paying for constant support, patches, and integrations.
  • Manual data merging increases error risk

    Sponsors often have to manually consolidate data from different sources. This creates delays and opens the door for critical data errors.
  • Longer timelines for analysis and submission

    Fragmented data means extended cleaning and verification times—delaying insights, compliance, and trial completion.
