Built By Customers For The Customer.
A platform designed to help investigators conduct research in any location.




Our Story
AscensionQ was founded with the goal of combining innovation and transformation with expertise in clinical trials to create a platform that supports researchers and addresses common challenges in their work
Why we built this.
- Frustrated with lack of custom off the shelf solutions available on the market.
- Mixed results experienced with existing software that required time, effort, and energy.
- Recognition that the clinical trial industry as a whole needed a solution specifically designed for their needs.
- A desire to help unrepresented research sites.
