Who is Savvy?

In order for companies and researchers

to make the best products and services, they need to

understand the patient and caregiver experience.

Savvy Cooperative was founded by patients to help amplify, protect, and value the patient voice. Savvy's insights platform connects patients and caregivers directly with healthcare innovators and ensures that participants are treated fairly and adequately compensated.

Patients and caregivers for any health condition can register on the Savvy platform by clicking the button below.
