Client Testimonials
"I worked with LS-SACS on a couple of programs where we implemented AI based technology solutions in the clinical trials space. He was an excellent partner who genuinely fostered a collaborative atmosphere. He and his team went the extra mile in helping us tailor the solution to our needs and implemented cutting edge technologies to create data visualization tools. Krishnan had a keen interest in this area and will be of great help to health care companies looking to move into time data visualization and analysis of clinical trial data"
