Jumo Health Supports Clinical Trial Community and Sponsors Annual iCAN Summit
Patient engagement company renews commitment to serve patients and their families as Aniskovich joins iCAN Advisory Board.
New York, NY, July 19, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Jumo Health, a global provider of age appropriate, personalized health care resources, is pleased to announce its sponsorship of the International Children’s Advisory Network (iCAN) annual summit. iCAN, a global consortium of youth advisory groups, provides a voice for children and families in health and research. Jumo Health stands alongside other sponsors such as Pfizer, UCB, Lilly, Covance, Worldwide Clinical Trials, Shriners Hospitals for Children, and others to make this special event a reality.
The iCAN annual summit, originally scheduled to take place in Lyon, France, was virtual this year due to COVID-19. The summit provides an opportunity for iCAN’s youth members to learn about pediatric medicine and meet those dedicated to improving health care, including entrepreneurs, researchers, scientists, and physicians from around the world. In addition to learning more about medical and scientific advances, participants interact with each other and share their own stories and messages of hope.
Jumo Health’s unique style of authentic storytelling recently caught the attention of iCAN and its membership, prompting iCAN to endorse Jumo Health’s age-appropriate suite of comic books entitled, Understanding Clinical Trials, to ensure readers can understand and act upon physicians’ instructions. “iCAN is so happy to have Jumo Health as a partner and sponsor. They have our youth review their products to make sure they are kid-friendly. And our kids love that Jumo Health uses their likenesses for the characters in their books,” said Leanne West, President of iCAN.
Beyond the Summit
Extending their commitment to iCAN and its mission of elevating the pediatric patient voice in clinical trials, Jumo Health’s President and CEO, Kevin Aniskovich, has joined the iCAN Advisory Board. The appointment allows Jumo Health to actively participate in an ongoing conversation with other industry leaders to effectuate positive change in pediatric clinical trials.
“I am proud that Jumo Health is the name sponsor of the annual summit and that I can continue to learn from the other members of the Board and chapter leaders to ensure our products resonate with those they intend to serve,” said Aniskovich. “Through collaboration comes thoughtful, inclusive, and authentic products that will drive optimal patient outcomes and the purest path to that end is to engage with the individual. I believe, through iCAN, that our ability to focus on increasing health literacy will have a dramatic affect on health care outcomes,” Aniskovich concluded.
