H1 Connect is an expanded community that connects healthcare providers (HCPs) and researchers with global expert opinions and analysis, advancing the bench-to-bedside knowledge flow by providing a space for HCPs to collaborate with their peers and stay abreast of current expert scientific thinking.

With more than a million research articles being published annually across the life science and medical research disciplines, it is now impossible to stay on top of the literature. H1 Connect helps individuals navigate the literature by covering ‘bench to bedside’, and publishing the unique and personal insight of over 8,000+ experts across 40 disciplines and 300 specialties. The H1 Connect team will continuously scan the literature to identify the best research in their respective fields to provide its users with a quick and easy way of finding the articles they need to read but may otherwise miss, allowing them more time to focus on their patients and own daily tasks.
