8 Mobile Research Nursing & Remote Visit Vendors in 2026

Roughly one in two clinical trial dropouts trace back to travel and logistics rather than the treatment itself. A remote patient visit provider brings the trial visit to the participant instead — through a mobile research nurse in the home, a virtual visit conducted over video, or a smartphone app that observes medication doses in real time — cutting the burden that keeps patients from enrolling or staying enrolled.

The companies on this list offer patient remote visit services for clinical trials, spanning mobile research nursing, home healthcare, and video-based adherence monitoring. This is an unranked list — the order carries no judgment about quality or fit. Several also handle the broader decentralized trial logistics — travel, translation, and site coordination — that go along with taking a visit out of the clinic.

EmVenio Clinical Research (formerly PCM Trials)

EmVenio Clinical Research trains and certifies its own Certified Mobile Research Nurses (CMRNs) rather than contracting through third-party staffing agencies, aiming for consistent nurse assignment that builds trust with trial participants over repeat visits. The company reported a track record of recruiting more than 75% minority patients and retaining over 92% of participants prior to its 2025 rebrand, when PCM Trials merged with its EmVenio Research and Clinical Trial Service subsidiaries under one name and launched a new Patient Navigator service. Founded in 2008 as PCM Trials and based in Denver, Colorado, EmVenio now operates across more than 80 countries with roughly 5,000 professionals as a subsidiary of Professional Case Management.

MDGroup

MDGroup supports patients through every stage of a clinical trial's journey, combining home healthcare visits with travel, accommodation, expense reimbursement, and site accessibility support to reduce the burden of participation. The company partnered with Medical Research Network in 2018 to deliver study visits at home or in the clinic, and its recent case work includes a 15-year support commitment for families in an ultra-rare pediatric gene therapy trial. Founded in 2002, MDGroup operates from headquarters in Bracknell, England, and Durham, North Carolina.

Scene Health

Scene Health uses video Directly Observed Therapy — patients record short daily videos of themselves taking medication through the company's Spotlight app — to secure real-time adherence data for clinical trials while reducing site burden. The company, formerly known as emocha Health, was spun off from Johns Hopkins University and has amassed more than 4 million medication-taking videos, combined with outcomes data, to detect and address non-adherence. Founded in 2014 and based in Baltimore, Maryland, Scene Health works with pharmaceutical companies and CROs to confirm protocol compliance in addition to its work with health plans and public health departments.

Curavit Clinical Research

Curavit specializes in decentralized clinical trials, offering its HIPAA-compliant Stratus platform as a virtual central site that brings patients, investigators, and the study team together in a cloud-based environment. The company's services span study design, regulatory compliance, patient recruitment and engagement, and centralized coordination of logistics and lab work, aimed at clients in biotech, academic research, and digital therapeutics. Founded in 2019, Curavit Clinical Research is based in Scarsdale, New York.

CliniQnect

CliniQnect supports clinics and clinical trial patients with home healthcare services across Europe and Asia, including patient visits at home, workplace, or school, delivered through a network of mobile nurses and phlebotomists. The company's offerings extend to patient coaching and concierge services, a medical and clinical trial support center, technical support for medical devices, and remote patient monitoring through digital tools and telemedicine. Founded in 2018, CliniQnect is based in Stockholm, Sweden.

Marken

Marken offers home healthcare nursing services as part of its broader clinical and commercial supply chain solutions, letting the UPS Healthcare subsidiary combine direct-to-patient logistics with in-home clinical visits. The company's home nursing capability sits alongside its GMP depot network and cell and gene supply chain services, giving it a role in both the physical delivery of trial materials and the in-home visit itself. Founded in 1980, Marken is headquartered in Durham, North Carolina.

Tryal

Tryal's single AI-powered eClinical platform combines eCOA, eConsent, and Home Healthcare solutions, aiming to automate system design directly from a study's protocol and reduce the complexity of clinical data collection. The company positions its home healthcare module as part of an integrated data-collection suite rather than a standalone visit service, letting sponsors manage remote visits and outcome data through the same system. Tryal is based in the United States.

Orphan Reach

Orphan Reach offers home nursing support and patient transport services as part of its broader rare disease CRO work, aimed at making participation more manageable for patients and families in small-population trials. The company's global clinical development services span more than 70 countries, and its services also include orphan strategy development, natural history studies, and patient registries. Founded in 2002 and based in Milton Keynes, England, Orphan Reach tailors its remote visit and patient support work to the specific demands of rare disease research.
