Transition to a mobile based solution - Can be helpful

Being a pharmaceutical study and under the purview of FDA, it becomes imperative to ensure the right outcomes and efficacy of the drug.  Initially what started off as a paper based approach to capture data was reorganized to use a mobile based solution due to the delay in patient data capture, analysis and submission to the regulators!  The solution was thoroughly analyzed and validated for compliance regulations and successfully implemented in the study.

What were the major areas of concern?

•           Non-compliant patient data
•           No means of monitoring patients
•           Using paper for data Capture and associated costs
•           Delay in analysis and submission of data by conventional processes
•           Non-compliance to protocol
•           Operational costs of using paper 

      What can be the next steps:

      To create a a system that is -

 § Developed from Ground Up

 § Ready Solution for Patient Monitoring

 § Ready Solution for Patient Data Capture

 § Low Cost Turn Key Solution

 § Ability to be customized for different  therapeutic areas and specialities

 § Can be deployed on Patient’s own phone

 § No upfront investment, unless customized

 § Works on Data and Wifi
