Clinical Evidence
Effective outcomes as evidenced by 20 peer-reviewed journal articles and over 100 independent clinical studies
Flo is proven to help clinicians work smarter and have more fulfilling patient encounters
You can rely on Florence to deliver safe and effective outcomes as evidenced by 20 peer-reviewed journal articles and over 100 independent clinical studies. From the very beginning of Florence, patient safety and clinical efficacy has been our top priority.
By working with academic institutions and clinical researchers, we have robust clinical evidence not only from the UK but also from successful trails and implementations in the United States (for the Veterans Administration) and in Australia.
