What datametrix does

Datametrix AG is a privately held Swiss life-sciences data analytics and biostatistics consultancy founded in 2003 and headquartered in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The firm serves global pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, hospitals, and academic research groups with four integrated service lines: Data Intelligence (AI-driven analytics, visualization, and RWE), Biostatistics (clinical trial statistical analysis, SAS/R programming, and regulatory submission documents), Data Management (proprietary EDC system and CDISC-compliant deliverables), and Health Economics & Outcomes Research (HEOR for market access and HTA submissions). The company's technology stack combines CDISC standards (SDTM/ADaM), SAS and R programming, machine learning models for safety signal detection and predictive enrollment, Synthetic Control Arm methodology built on propensity score matching and Bayesian borrowing, and AI co-pilots for automated SDTM/ADaM code generation. A Flexible FSP (Functional Service Provider) delivery model embeds dedicated, senior-led teams at client sites or remotely, with documented productivity gains including 60% reductions in data processing time and 30% cost savings versus traditional CRO outsourcing.

Datametrix generates revenue through bespoke professional services engagements and the Flexible FSP model, with quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is senior-led consultative selling targeting enterprise pharma and biotech buyers, supported by thought-leadership content (white papers, articles, webinars), active participation in industry conferences (Swiss Biotech Day, DIA, PHUSE, SCOPE), and direct consultation booking. Geographic reach spans Switzerland, Sweden (AstraZeneca BioVenture Hub in Mölndal), Tunisia, and France, with additional partnership-driven coverage in Brazil (iHealth Group) and Germany (BioRN cluster). Datametrix holds CDISC Silver Partner status and claims 50+ regulatory submissions with zero technical validation rejections related to data standards compliance, with particular specialization in Swissmedic submissions. The company is founder/management-owned with no disclosed external funding, operates a headcount of 11-50, and is led by CEO Ahmed El Rhali (since 2015).

Core offering

Datametrix provides AI-driven biostatistics, clinical data management, data intelligence, and HEOR services for the life sciences industry. The company delivers end-to-end clinical trial analytics — from CDISC-compliant data management and SAS/R statistical programming to real-world evidence generation and Swissmedic regulatory submission support — either as bespoke consulting engagements or via a Flexible FSP model with embedded dedicated teams.

Product overview

Datametrix offers a portfolio of four integrated core services for the life sciences industry: Data Intelligence (AI-driven analytics and visualization), Biostatistics (clinical trial statistical analysis and programming), Data Management (proprietary EDC system and CDISC-compliant data handling), and HEOR (health economics and market access). These services are delivered either as standalone engagements or through the Flexible FSP model, which provides dedicated resource teams under an adaptive, value-based framework. The offering is architecture as a consultancy-based service portfolio rather than a software platform, with all services designed to interoperate across the clinical development lifecycle from protocol design through regulatory submission.
