Once you sign up, we will review your health profile and contact you if you might qualify for a research study. If you may qualify for a study, a clinical research coordinator will contact you within 48 hours to confirm your health information and tell you more about what is required to participate in a certain study. When you are ready to be scheduled, your clinical research coordinator will work with you to schedule an at­-home visit. One of Sanguine’s mobile health staff members will meet you in the privacy and comfort of your home to explain the research study and perform the sample collection.

After you provide your basic health information, we will review your health profile within 48 hours to see if you might qualify for a research study. If you do not qualify for any of our current studies when you sign up, we will keep your contact information on file and reach out when we have a study that matches your health profile.

When a clinical research coordinator calls you, he/she will ask you questions regarding your medical history to determine if you qualify for any of our current studies. He/she will also walk you through the Informed Consent process and what you should expect going forward. Depending on the study, we may ask you to sign a Release of Medical Records so that we can provide the researchers with additional information they need to conduct their study. Please have your physician’s contact information available.

We may ask you to sign a Release of Medical Records so that we can provide researchers with the data they need to conduct as comprehensive of a study as possible.

Preparation varies depending on the type of appointment. Your clinical research coordinator will review preparation needed before your appointment. For appointments that require blood draws, hydration is very important. Not being sufficiently hydrated can make it difficult to find a vein. Drink at least 2 glasses of water before your appointment. In addition, please refrain from drinking alcohol 24 hours prior to your blood draw.

When you are scheduled for an appointment with one of our trained mobile health staff, you will receive a confirmation email containing your appointment date and time, along with the name of your mobile health staff member.

The appointment may take anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the study. While most appointments only take 30 minutes, each participant is unique and circumstances may vary.
