Exciting news! Cognivue, Inc.'s FOCUS study results were just published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. Velocity is proud to have supported the study by enrolling all of its participants — more than 1,500 subjects across 14 sites and 11 states. The enrollment objective was to amass a group resembling the racial, ethnic, gender, and educational makeup recorded in the 2020 U.S. census data. Velocity far exceeded the national averages, enrolling more than 37% of participants from underrepresented populations.

Last month, Velocity welcomed former Surgeon General Jerome Adams, MD, MPH to an internal presentation about the importance and direction of diversity in clinical trial inclusion, followed by a Q&A hosted by Paul Evans. In this discussion, Dr. Adams made the argument that increasing diversity among the participants of clinical trials isn’t just morally right, it’s economically better for all involved in the process. Illustrating his point, Dr. Adams explained, “It was always assumed you had to pick one or the other in clinical trials; speed or diversity. To me, that is a false narrative. If you wait until the end to think about diversity then yes, it will slow you down. But what we showed with Warp Speed, which was the largest clinical trial in history, is that even if you come in midway and make a concerted effort, you can get there without slowing down the trials.” Hear more from Dr. Adams on topics like the intersection between economics and health, increasing equity in healthcare, and balancing politics with health in clinical research. #HealthEquity #DEI #VelocityCARES #ClinicalResearch
