SAN FRANCISCO, March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Grove AI, a company advancing the next generation of clinical trials with AI, today announced that it has been awarded the prestigious Participant Engagement Award at the 2025 Summit for Clinical Ops Executives (SCOPE). This accolade recognizes Grove AI’s groundbreaking impact on advancing participant engagement across Phase I, II, and III clinical trials with its industry-leading participant relationship management (PRM) platform and digital staff, Grace.
Grove AI won the top honor after being named a finalist among industry leaders including AstraZeneca, Ichor, Mural Health, Pathway, SGM Alliance, and Walgreens.

“This recognition of our approach to optimizing clinical trial operations workflows is a testament to the demand for more intelligent clinical operations powered by real-time data and human-centered AI,” said Tran Le, CEO and co-founder of Grove AI. “As we expand into new therapeutic areas and regions, we look forward to continuing to collaborate with leaders in the life science industry to bring life-saving treatments to market more efficiently than ever before.”
Grace is a digital staff that accelerates the work of clinical operations professionals and meets participants wherever they are through 24/7 direct-support multilingual calls, texts, emails, or the web.

Many spend over an hour on the phone with Grace to get answers to questions about a trial, determine their eligibility, and connect with trial sites,” added Sohit Gatiganti, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of Grove AI. “This participant-centric approach is now becoming the new industry standard for participant management in clinical research.”
