Researchers are challenged with the difficult task of staying ahead of the latest developments in technology. Results from research studies on the effectiveness of new and emerging technologies are often obsolete by the time they are published. Researchers often lack access to dedicated, full-service IT developers required to execute their vision of online systems and data collection. Evolution was founded on its relationship with researchers and collaboration on studies designed to advance understanding of how online and mobile-based interventions can be effectively implemented in the real world.

Evolution Health has collaborated with individuals and organizations throughout the world including research scientists, clinicians and doctors. Organizations such as UC Berkeley, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and University of Alberta have worked under grants from funding agencies such as, NIAAA, CDC and Health Canada to integrate our behavioral health programs and research as the basis of their projects.

Evolution Health’s programs can improve efficiency of electronic data capture and management. Internet and mobile technologies allow researchers to reach target groups, specific populations and overcome traditional geographic barriers. Our programs also help reduce costs and errors associated with manual data entry by offering instant access to real time data through a secure and reliable connection. We can customize existing programs; build customized data collection and reporting systems or a combination of the two. Evolution has Federalwide Assurance and our privacy policies have been approved by ethics boards in the US and Canada. This leaves our research partners free to focus on their area of expertise – growing the evidence base – while Evolution manages the technology.
