With over 50 customers to date and growing rapidly, H1 is slowly becoming the standard that companies think about when they want to find the right Key Opinion Leading Doctors to collaborate with for Clinical Trial Activity, Medical Activity, and Educational Activity.
We have created a platform for the healthcare ecosystem to connect in the same way Linkedin connected professional workers in the early 2000's. There hasn't been a global platform like H1 before that has connected industry to the right doctors the way H1 does, said H1 co-founder and CEO Ariel Katz.
