Who We Are

At ActiVie, we specialize in delivering tailored clinical research support to health technology innovators. Our fractional clinical teams provide the expertise, flexibility, and operational efficiency you need - without the overhead of full-time staffing. Whether you're a startup navigating early-stage challenges or an enterprise scaling up, we're here to help you accelerate development, validate your innovations, and navigate complex regulatory landscapes with confidence.

ActiVie comes from the words “active” and “vie”, French for “life”. We believe that all people deserve to live healthy and active lives and to do so, products and services should be made with them in mind.

Founder Story - Jana Montgomery’s Vision

ActiVie was born from Jana Montgomery’s deep passion for health and her belief in putting people first—always. After years of working with healthtech startups, Jana saw firsthand the critical role clinical research plays in bringing life-changing products to market. Yet, she also saw how many early-stage companies struggled to secure funding for full in-house clinical teams, leaving them at a disadvantage when it came to conducting the research necessary for success.

Determined to bridge this gap, Jana founded ActiVie to provide these startups with the clinical expertise they needed, without the overhead of building a full team. She envisioned a company that could help get products to market faster, while maintaining the highest standards of research—an approach that was both human-centered and results-driven.

“We are people first always.”


This simple belief drives ActiVie’s mission. Jana knew that healthtech businesses exist to improve lives, and she wanted ActiVie to reflect that same commitment. ActiVie partners with healthtech companies to ensure they can deliver innovative products that enhance well-being and quality of life for everyone. At the same time, Jana built a team culture that prioritizes the well-being of ActiVie’s employees, ensuring that the company's human-first values shine through in everything they do.

With ActiVie, Jana proved that you can do both—focus on people and deliver high-quality, compliant, and impactful clinical research. Her journey continues to inspire ActiVie’s mission: to help healthtech companies bring their ideas to life, faster and with a purpose.
