CrunchBase says that QuartzClinical is a sub-organization of SurgiSphere. They have an interesting organization -- six people in sales, marketing, creative, and legal fluff. And their VP of "System Integration and Optimization" is a lawyer, to boot.
QuartzClinical operates in Analytics, Big Data, Business Intelligence, Data Integration, Health Care, Information Technology, Machine Learning, Medical, Predictive Analytics, Software. Yet there is NOBODY in the company with those skill sets.
CrunchBase says Surgisphere has one employee, CEO Sapan Desai, MD, PhD, MBA, FACS.
LinkedIn shows Ariane Anderson is the "Director Of Sales Marketing" at Quartz Clinical from Sep 2018 to Present. She has an Associate's [sic] Degree in General Education from Chaffey College; completed the Phlebotomy certified program at the Phlebotomy Learning Center; and earned a Certificate as a Medical/Clinical Assistant from Chaffey College.
I'd say that Sergio Ritter is doing an exemplary job in the "Creative" department. I'd wager he is a protege of Don Draper.
All of this should have set off HUGE RED FLAGS at The Lancet and they shouldn't have touched this crap with a ten foot pole, but they are so anxious to GET TRUMP that they did zero due-diligence on this "study."
The company does not have any visible technologists. But they also apparently have a "copy writer"
"Hi! I'm a copywriter with a focus on content strategy and content marketing. In an ever-evolving corporate landscape, copywriting is more than an option. It's a necessity. Business owners like you need content that's strategically written, optimized for search, and speaks with a voice your target market understands.
That's where I come in. I help businesses grow by using my copywriting, content marketing, and graphic design skills to use creating beautifully written and well-designed content such as white papers, email marketing campaigns, and blogs that are attractive, informative, and effective.
If you're looking for a writer who's more than just a wordsmith but builds their work on a strong foundation of strategy, brand awareness, and optimization, get in touch!
I'd love to work with you."
Somebody has to write all the fluff on the website after all.
