Most People Thought We Were Building a Health App. They Were Half Right.

What began as a platform to help people better understand and manage their own health has evolved into something much larger: dedicated evidence infrastructure supporting clinical trials, real-world data initiatives, and insurance programs.


Over the past six years, OnTracka has supported more than 34 research programs spanning women's health, oncology, PTSD, endometriosis, treatment-resistant depression, First Nations health, and other complex treatment pathways. Thousands of patients have trusted the platform with their healthcare journeys, and that trust has shaped everything we've built.

As part of our next chapter, OnTracka will transition exclusively to a partnership-led access model, working more closely with researchers, healthcare providers, sponsors, insurers, and government organisations to generate the evidence needed to shape the future of healthcare.

This means public registrations for the OnTracka App has been closed since our last update . This is not the end of OnTracka. It is the beginning of a much bigger mission.


A Message from Our Founder


When I founded OnTracka, the vision was simple. I wanted to create technology that gave people a better understanding of their own health while making it easier to participate in research that could improve the lives of others.

Like many of our community, my own healthcare journey changed the way I looked at medicine, research, and the patient experience. I believed there had to be a better way to connect patients, clinicians, and researchers.

Over the past six years, that belief has become something much bigger than I ever imagined. Together, we've supported research programs across complex treatment pathways, worked alongside clinicians, universities, industry partners, and healthcare organisations to better understand how treatments perform, not just inside clinical trials but in everyday life.


"We weren't simply building another health app. We were building the infrastructure needed to generate better evidence."

Clinical trials remain the foundation of medical innovation, but they are no longer the whole story. Increasingly, healthcare decisions depend on understanding what happens after a treatment enters routine clinical practice. Regulators, researchers, clinicians, and insurers all need high-quality, longitudinal evidence that reflects real patient experiences.

Our mission now is to build the evidence infrastructure that connects clinical research, real-world care, and objective outcome measurement into one secure, scalable platform.


The evidence layer modern healthcare has been missing

This next chapter is built around three core capabilities:


The Clinical Trial Cloud

Purpose-built infrastructure supporting sponsor-led and investigator-initiated clinical trials, hybrid and decentralised research, patient engagement, longitudinal outcome collection, and regulatory-ready evidence.


The Evidence Engine

Transforming patient-reported outcomes, remote monitoring, and real-world clinical data into structured evidence that helps answer important healthcare questions.


OnTracka Objective Measures (OOM)

Providing insurers, employers, and healthcare organisations with meaningful digital outcome measures that support value-based care, reimbursement decisions, and long-term patient monitoring.


To Our Community

None of this would have been possible without you. Every person who downloaded the app, joined a study, shared their experiences, or trusted us with their healthcare journey has helped build something that now extends far beyond a single platform.

Looking Forward

The future of healthcare will not be shaped by breakthrough treatments alone. It will be shaped by the quality of the evidence that demonstrates how those treatments perform in the real world. Our ambition is to help make that possible.

Working alongside researchers, healthcare providers, sponsors, insurers, and governments, we will continue building infrastructure that improves clinical trials, accelerates real-world evidence generation, and supports better healthcare decisions for everyone.

To everyone who has been part of the journey so far: the OnTracka team is grateful. The next chapter starts now.
