Arxova for Research: Participant-Consented Medical Records and Wearable Data for Clinical Studies

Move Records Aggregation From Your Coordinators to the Participant

Most eClinical platforms capture data generated during a study — visit data, patient-reported outcomes, protocol labs. They do that well. What none of them do is retrieve the participant's pre-existing records from the outside providers where the actual care happened. That history was never sitting on your server. It was never going to be.

And that outside history is what determines eligibility. Prior treatments, comorbidities, concomitant medications, historical labs and imaging — it decides whether a candidate screens in or fails. Until someone retrieves it, it's invisible. Your coordinator can spend an afternoon on hold with a hospital records department, only to find the exclusion criteria was sitting in a chart the whole time.

Arxova closes that gap before it opens. The participant connects their own records, before screening, and your team sees the full picture up front. Fewer avoidable screen failures. Fewer coordinator hours spent chasing records requests. A faster path from consent to enrolled — because the history that used to arrive in week three now arrives before day one.

Your health has been everywhere but with you. Bring it home — and this time, bring it to the study that needs it.

What Research Partners Get

Consented participant data through the app. Participants you enroll aggregate their records and wearable data and share it with your study under IRB-approved consent. The onboarding your coordinators used to do by hand becomes something the participant does in minutes, from a phone, on their own time.

A white-label research platform. Run the same participant-led aggregation and consent workflow under your own brand. Built for research sites and community hospital programs that want to run modern, data-complete research without carrying the overhead of a large internal infrastructure team.

Consent infrastructure (SDK/API). Embed Arxova's consent governance directly into your own systems. Every consent is captured, versioned, time-stamped, and tamper-proof — producing audit trails you can defend to a monitor or an auditor, not just describe to one.

Inside the Participant's Health Record

Every Arxova user builds a secure account that pulls together information normally scattered across systems, providers, and years. Not fragments. A single account can hold:

• Medical records retrieved from over 25,000 hospitals and health institutions
• Lab results, imaging reports, and medication histories
• Wearable and connected-device data, synced from the devices the participant already uses
• Longitudinal history spanning multiple providers and years, in one place, controlled by the person it belongs to

Arxova connects with the health platforms and devices people already rely on, and retrieves clinical records through its health-record integration partner, Fasten Health. That combination closes the gap between what a wearable sees and what a hospital chart holds — the complete picture a real-world study actually depends on.

That range matters more than it looks. Arxova doesn't ask a participant to choose between their Oura ring and their hospital chart. It holds both, on their terms.

You can read more about how the record itself is built and secured on the About Arxova page.

How Consent Works: IRB-Approved and Participant-Signed

Arxova's research model runs on one rule: the participant decides what they share, who sees it, and for how long. Nothing moves without a deliberate, documented choice. Not a checkbox buried in page nine of a terms-of-service document — a real decision, made once, for a real purpose.

When someone joins a study, they review and sign the partnering institution's own IRB-approved consent form, presented directly in the app. That's a direct agreement between the participant and the research institution. Only the data the participant agrees to share moves forward, and only for the purpose they agreed to.

This matters for data quality, not just ethics. A research team working with Arxova participants is working with people who understood what they agreed to — and that tends to produce more reliable engagement, and more complete longitudinal follow-through, than passive data collection ever does.

Arxova was built by a registered nurse who spent nearly a decade in cardiac care watching patients get locked out of their own records at exactly the moment they needed them most. That's the same instinct behind the consent model here: the data doesn't move until the person it belongs to says yes — clearly, on their own terms, in writing they actually read.

Built to Complement Your Existing Stack

Arxova is not an eConsent or EDC replacement. If you already run a data-capture platform, keep it. You don't need to rip out what works.

Arxova sits alongside it and does the one thing it can't: retrieve the participant's complete outside medical history at the moment of consent. Your existing system keeps capturing in-study data. Arxova fills in the years of history that came before enrollment. The two work together, and your team keeps the tools it already knows how to use.

The Technology Behind the Trust

Consent means little without a system built to enforce it. Arxova encrypts a participant's records on their own device before they're ever stored, so raw data never sits unprotected anywhere in the pipeline — not in transit, not at rest, not for a second.

The participant holds their own keys. Arxova cannot unlock an account without the participant's explicit action — not for a partner, not for itself. Every time data is accessed, that event is logged in a permanent, tamper-proof record of who accessed what, and when. Records are held in permanent, tamper-resistant storage, with every access event recorded in a tamper-proof log the participant controls — rather than sitting on a single server that could be altered, or lost, or quietly changed after the fact.

Together, this gives a research team something most data platforms can't offer: a verifiable answer to the question "who touched this record, and did the participant say yes?" Not an assurance. An answer. You can see the detail on how the vault itself is engineered on the Arxova Security page.

Audit-Ready Consent You Can Verify

Encryption and tamper-proof logging aren't fine print here. They're the mechanism that lets a research team prove, after the fact, that every single data access was authorized. For a monitor or an auditor, the trail exists independently of any one company's word — including Arxova's own.

That transparency matters to the participant too. Nobody has to take Arxova's word for how their information gets handled. The record speaks for itself, timestamped and unchangeable, sitting in a vault that answers to the person it belongs to — not to Arxova, not to a sponsor, not to anyone else.

Where Arxova Stands Today

Arxova is live. Users are securing and organizing their health data right now, retrieving records and syncing wearables through the app on iOS and Android — not waiting on a pilot, not waiting on a future release.

Each participant can retrieve records from over 25,000 hospitals and health institutions, held and controlled by the individual they belong to. Combined with consent that's verifiable rather than assumed, that makes Arxova infrastructure a research team can build on — not a static dataset you license once and hope stays current.

Who Should Partner With Arxova

Arxova is built first for the teams that feel the enrollment bottleneck most directly:

• Independent and multi-specialty research sites running industry-sponsored or investigator-initiated studies
• Small and mid-size CROs that win or lose bids on startup speed and enrollment performance
• Community hospital research programs that want to run data-complete research above their infrastructure weight
• Academic medical centers and health-sciences schools running observational or longitudinal studies
• Biotech and pharmaceutical teams validating outcomes, adherence, or device performance in real-world settings

How to Start a Research Partnership

Getting started is a conversation, not a sales pitch. Share a few details about your team, your therapeutic area, your current enrollment or onboarding pain, and your timeline. Arxova's team responds within a few business days to discuss access models and partnership terms. If you have technical questions before that conversation, the Support center covers how record connections and consent flows work in practice.

FAQ

Conclusion

Real-world research depends on trust as much as it depends on data volume. Arxova's approach — participant-controlled records, IRB-approved consent signed in the app, encryption the participant controls, and an audit-ready access trail — gives research teams a way to reach complete, longitudinal health data without compromising on how it was obtained.

You're not doing this alone, and neither is your participant. For a site or program spending its scarcest hours chasing records during screening, the conversation starts with a short note to Arxova's research team — and a participant's health record that's finally, verifiably, theirs.
