Investment to Accelerate Expansion Into New Specialties and Markets
KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aton Health ("Aton" or "the Company") today announced the closing of a Series A growth investment led by Shore Search Partners. Aton is a healthcare company that integrates research into routine patient care, helping providers participate in research programs, access broader patient populations, and generate meaningful real-world evidence without disrupting provider workflows.
The investment will support the continued expansion of Aton Health's TrialSight™ and CareSight™ platforms, entry into additional specialties and markets beyond gastroenterology, and advancements in technology, operations, and team growth.
Unlike traditional clinical trial sites, Aton embeds its data collection infrastructure directly into existing specialty practices. The company supports non-interventional research initiatives designed to improve patient engagement, research accessibility, and clinical insight generation.
Tom Sanders, CEO and Co-Founder of Aton Health, said, "Our mission is to make healthcare research more accessible, actionable, and representative. Having a sophisticated healthcare investor like Shore Search Partners see value in our platform accelerates our efforts to deliver research models that fit naturally within care delivery and provide sponsors with access to high-quality, real-world data."
Cameron Perkins, Partner at Shore Search Partners, added, "The future of clinical research depends on making participation more accessible to patients while minimizing operational burden on providers. Too often, patients are unaware of research opportunities that could provide access to innovative treatments and help advance medical knowledge. Aton is helping close that gap by embedding research into routine care through a scalable platform that expands patient access, fits naturally within clinical workflows, and generates broader and more representative real-world evidence. We look forward to supporting Tom and the team as they expand TrialSight and CareSight into additional specialties and healthcare markets."
