  2. Why The Cloud Is Set To Ignite A Clinical Trial Revolution 11/25/2015

    Clinical research is transforming from a paper-driven model into one that is almost wholly electronic. This goes well beyond the electronic transcribing of data. Wearables and smart phone technology now make it possible to electronically collect data directly from clinical research trial participants, skipping many manual and middle steps.

  3. Reduce The Cost Of Trials With Effective Innovation And Patient Engagement 7/22/2015

    Bringing down the cost of developing a new drug is a challenge to everyone in the life sciences industry. With clinical trials being a huge part of that cost, the challenge is taken seriously by everyone involved in the trial process. Taking a close look at the disruptions that can impact the clinical space would be a good start to determining where sponsors and CROs can be more efficient.
