Integration is the focus of pre-conference seminar which will showcase leading clinical technologies
Electronic clinical trial management specialist ClinPhone will host a major pre-conference workshop at the ViB eClinical Trials Conference in Las Vegas on 7 May at the Mirage resort and casino. The workshop will showcase leading clinical technologies and demonstrate how these solutions can be seamlessly integrated to create a complete single-source platform to optimise the clinical process.
Integration has been a hot topic among pharmaceutical and biotech companies.
With real-world experience in bringing together diverse technologies, ClinPhone is well positioned to offer this interactive workshop, which should attract key clinical, and IT personnel from the biopharma industry.
ClinPhone COO Kevin Bishop, who will speak at the workshop, explained: "Individual technologies are already used on a wide scale to address specific needs within clinical trials.
The critical issue here is that each of those systems contains its own copy of data and must be managed independently.
The net result is often conflicting data and redundant processes.
Workflow and resource allocation are consequently far less efficient than they could and should be.
"We have designed the seminar to highlight the challenges and benefits of bringing together independent technologies, such as interactive voice response, interactive web response, and electronic data capture systems.
We will explain and demonstrate the complete technology jigsaw and show how it should knit together seamlessly to streamline the existing clinical trial process.
"For many, this will be the first opportunity they will have to see how the whole process can and should be integrated and as such, we do expect a high attendance." ClinPhone held a similar seminar in Cannes last September and it attracted huge interest.
The Las Vegas seminar will run for a full day and will explore integrated solutions for the simulation and forecasting of clinical trial supplies, drug supply management (DSM), clinical trial management systems (CTMS), electronic data capture (EDC) and patient diary solutions and Internet-powered trial management systems.
