ABOUT SUVODA

A trusted advisor in clinical trials

Suvoda is a global clinical trial technology company backed by expert teams and rigorous processes, delivering a real-time experience platform designed for the most critical moments in a trial.
Our Purpose: Trial Wisely

Empowering confident decisions and calm action in the moments that matter most 

Clinical trials are filled with high-stakes, high-pressure moments, where success—for both business results and human health—rests on the ability to move forward with wisdom. At Suvoda, we don’t just simplify the journey—we empower the people who make life-changing studies happen.  

Whether you're a sponsor, CRO, site, or patient, our real-time experience platform and modular, action-driven solutions—from IRT and eCOA to travel and payments—streamline even the most intricate trial workflows, seamlessly synchronizing data and activity across users. Backed by rigorous processes and exceptionally prepared people, Suvoda empowers every trial stakeholder to move forward with ease, sound judgment, and a shared sense of purpose.

Together, we Trial wisely.

OUR NAME

Suvoda means “the dawn of well-being”

Suvoda was built on a shared promise: to ease the experience of those running and participating in clinical trials, while providing greater insights to help sponsors, CROs, sites, and patients make more informed decisions. Our name, derived from Sanskrit, reflects this commitment to improving every step of the trial journey.

Sanskrit nods to our founder and CEO’s heritage—it is the ancient root of Sinhalese, his native language. Our name represents both the depth of our mission and the global perspective that continues to guide us.
