An indispensable tool for responsible clinical research

Scientific approach

EcoClin's methodology is based on publications by international research teams and task forces.

Results processing

each activity carried out as part of a study is converted into CO2 equivalent, and broken down into major emission categories, enabling us to identify the most significant contributors.

Suitable for all studies

it applies to pre/post-marketing studies for drugs, medical devices and any other healthcare product.

Controlling the environmental impact of your studies

Simulation and alternative scenarios: estimate the impact of methodological
and logistical choices to define the most appropriate design and tools.

Responsible recommendations: CLINACT recommends proposals adapted
to each study, according to the customer's needs: mutualization of visits, digitalization
of tools, optimization of transport...

corporate social responsibility approach by quantifying and valorizing your initiatives.
