Reflecting on Labfront's 2023 Achievements and Milestones

As 2023 comes to an end, it's a perfect opportunity to look back at the significant progress we've made at Labfront throughout the year. Read more about our biggest moments: new integrations, enhanced product features, and impactful research collaborations.

2023 has been a big year for us at Labfront! We didn't just grow; we evolved. We've added some new device integrations and really listened to what our users wanted, improving our platform to make it even better. Plus, we ramped up our research support programs. It's all part of our ongoing commitment to push the boundaries in health research technology.

Expanding Our Device Portfolio

We added two new device integrations, further enhancing our high-quality physiological data collection capabilities:

Dexcom: With this collaboration, researchers studying everything from metabolic health to lifestyle can now easily access and analyze blood glucose data through Labfront.
Movesense: The integration of Movesense devices brought in advanced motion (9-axis IMU) and medically-certified ECG sensor data.

Spotlight on Research: Project Cheria

There are a lot of projects to choose from, but Project Cheria, our collaboration with ThoughtFull, stands out as a highlight this year. The study explored the integration of digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) with physiological data. The results were promising, showing a 37% reduction in depressive symptoms among the intervention group compared with the control.
