Analyzing Data On The Fly

Anyone who has run a clinical trial knows that having data and having actionable data are not the same. Today’s trials gather increasing amounts of information from disparate sources—lab tests and mHealth devices, electronic medical records, and patient-reported data. The data contains valuable insights that might shift the trajectory of a trial. If researchers can only see them at the end of the trial, they lose much of the data’s worth. Only by arming teams with the ability to analyze data on the fly can you wrest all the value it has to offer.
