Within biosample storage, a “nightmare scenario” exists that Medable and our clients discuss regularly.

Some years ago, a sponsor with tens of thousands of biosample specimens identified that they had lost the ability to link their biobank samples' documented consent for storage (and further research). The consent for these samples was taken on paper, but a system to collate and file the consent data attributed to each specimen was not implemented. When the organization couldn’t find the paper consent, they were forced to dispose of thousands of biospecimens, losing the ability to conduct valuable research and potentially millions of dollars of lost IP.

Since our inception in 2015, Medable has conducted over 300+ digital and decentralized trials using eCOA, eConsent, telehealth, and more. However, just as a bell curve shows, adoption rates for new technologies can wildly vary across our industry. While some organizations quickly implement new technologies, others take a more cautious approach. 

Together, this team, which included Mihai Viisan, a Solution Design SME, Luka Ajduk, a Product Implementation Lead, and Ted Meyer, the Supply Chain Coordinator, built a trusting working relationship in which Medable led study implementation.
