Bento

Bento Biology Platforms is a patient-powered research and decentralized clinical trial (DCT) company focused on democratizing access to clinical research and precision medicine. The company provides a consumer-grade digital experience and self-service biosampling tools, such as the 'Bento Biology Box,' to enable contactless data collection and participation from a patient's home. By utilizing blockchain technology and incentive models like 'play-to-learn' (P2L) and 'participate-to-earn' (P2E), Bento Bio aims to solve the diversity problem in clinical trials by building trust with underrepresented communities. The platform supports biopharma sponsors in accelerating therapeutic development, population genomics, and long-term follow-up for cell and gene therapies.
