About Panoramic Science

Panoramic Science is powered by a longitudinal network of approximately 330,000 active patients across the cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic (CVRM) spectrum. Our population reflects the full continuum of kidney disease, from early CKD through ESKD, with a high prevalence of complex comorbid conditions, including hypertension (81%), diabetes (40%), cardiovascular disease (21%), and obesity (51%).*

Leveraging integrated EMR data across our multi-state platform, we support real-time feasibility, protocol-specific cohort identification, and structured enrollment tracking, enabling efficient study activation and reliable recruitment of complex, hard-to-find patients.

*All figures are estimates based on Panoramic Health data as of October 2025. Patient records are accessible via practice partnerships.
