According to AstraZeneca in a statement, Evinova is set to be a leading provider of digital health solutions to better meet the needs of healthcare professionals, regulators and patients.
“We believe Evinova’s combination of scientific expertise and track record in developing AI-enabled digital technologies at scale, provides a real opportunity to fundamentally improve patient care, drive healthcare transformation and reduce carbon emissions,” said AstraZeneca Chief Executive Officer, Pascal Soriot.
