CB2 Insights (CSE: CBII) (OTCQB: CBIIF) has agreed to assist VIVO Cannabis (TSX-V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF) in the development of VIVO’s global medical product development strategy.

Under a technology and multi-phase research agreement, CB2 will be integrating its Clinical Data Management Software (CDMS) and Electronic Data Capture (EDC) tools to establish a better understanding of VIVO’s current medical patient registry.

“We will work closely with the team at VIVO to design a research strategy backed by the collection of high-quality real world clinical data to support their current and future product innovations.”

“CB2’s global experience in clinical research and technology will enable VIVO to enhance our understanding of Canadian medical patients. This will facilitate our uncovering of new ways to meet the expectations of our current patients and will help inform our international growth plans,” said Barry Fishman, CEO of VIVO. “At VIVO, our purpose is to help patients achieve a positive quality of life with cannabis.
