ERT has launched a varied suite of electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) tools for use by clinical-trial sponsors creating complex diaries, questionnaires, visual scales and online surveys.
The selection of the ideal ePRO modality is reliant on multiple factors including questionnaire complexity, length, site location, patient population, budget and size of trial.
To facilitate this complex selection criteria, ERT offers a diverse range of complementary ePRO tools accepted by regulatory authorities globally for collection of reliable accurate data.
ERT tools include the Viaphone, Viapad, Viapen and Viaweb, all of which offer simplicity, mobility and immediacy of use over traditional paper-based methods.
ERT's Viapad solution has the capacity for complex diaries, questionnaires and visual scales, alongside the ability to streamline mid-study changes.
The Viaweb solution enables all patients to use a standard internet browser at home or work to securely log into their study diary or assessment and complete necessary information.
This is ideal for patients busy at work, with little time to visit a clinical trial site.
The Viapen is a digital pen that offers the simplicity of paper-based methods with the dual advantage of digital data collection.
Completing the suite of solutions offered is the Viaphone, otherwise known as an Interactive Voice Response device.
The Viaphone enables a patient to use a standard landline telephone or cell phone to feedback information.
This is suitable for people who are reluctant to embrace more advanced technologies or with reduced physical function.
