About Us:

Why MMIT? At MMIT, we simplify the complexities of healthcare to smooth access to life saving therapies.  Our collective teams achieve this through prioritizing cultivating industry leading data coupled with cutting edge technology to solve some of healthcare’s most complex challenges. 
 

MMIT is regarded as a trusted go-to-market partner that identifies barriers to patient access and helps coordinate major stakeholders to move therapies from pipeline to prescription—answering the “what” of how payers cover therapies and the “why” behind those decisions.

In 2022, MMIT joined forces with other market-leading pharmaceutical-solutions providers — Evaluate, Citeline,  Panalgo and The Dedham Group — to launch Norstella, which aims to deliver must-have answers for critical strategic and commercial decision-making along the entire drug development journey. Norstella is a premier and critical global life sciences data and AI solutions provider dedicated to improving patient access to life-saving therapies.
