Franklyn Health has been nominated and shortlisted for CRO of the Year at MedTech World Europe 2026. This nomination recognises Franklyn Health’s work as a specialist MedTech CRO (contract research organization) for startups and mid sized medical device and IVD companies.

A CRO built for emerging MedTech companies

In an industry where emerging MedTech companies can too often become an afterthought, Franklyn Health has built a CRO specifically around them.
Franklyn Health is a founder-led, full-service MedTech CRO supporting medical device and IVD companies across Europe, Asia and the USA. Built for startups and emerging innovators, it combines deep clinical and regulatory expertise with the speed, flexibility and personal attention of a small, nimble organisation.
The team has experience delivering clinical studies under EU MDR and IVDR and FDA regulatory pathways, and has supported MedTech companies from early clinical development through to successful commercial launch in the UK, Europe and USA. We are also supporting companies in Asia transferring their devices ready for western approval.
Franklyn Health works exclusively in MedTech. Studies are led by seniority throughout. Clients work directly with senior clinical and regulatory experts who understand both the science and the practical realities of bringing new medical technologies to market. Its founder-led structure means decisions can be made quickly, programmes can adapt as priorities change and senior leaders remain closely involved from the first conversation through to study delivery.
That approach extends to how Franklyn Health thinks about clinical evidence. The team challenges clients to look beyond the immediate regulatory milestone and design studies that generate not only the evidence regulators need, but the clinical, commercial and health-economic evidence that can support investment, reimbursement and adoption.
Underpinning this is a commitment to straightforward, transparent partnerships: direct communication, clear budgets and no unexpected costs.
Franklyn Health was created to give emerging MedTech companies the CRO partner they need at the stage when getting clinical development right matters most.
