How to improve eCOA data quality in clinical trials
Electronic clinical outcome assessments (eCOA) have become essential for modern clinical trials, offering numerous advantages over traditional paper-based methods. However, the benefits of eCOA can only be fully realized if the data collected is of the highest quality. Ensuring data quality in eCOA clinical trials requires a multifaceted approach, encompassing platform design, patient engagement strategies, robust data validation procedures, and strict adherence to regulatory guidelines. This blog post explores key strategies for achieving and maintaining data quality throughout the eCOA process.


The Future of decentralized clinical trials: Opportunities and adaptations for Medable
Traditionally, clinical trials have relied heavily on centralized sites and face-to-face interactions between researchers and participants. However, the limitations of this model have become increasingly apparent, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which prompted an unprecedented emergence of decentralized clinical trials (DCTs), whose characteristics of remote patient engagement, virtual assessments, and mobile health technologies allowed the healthcare industry to continue drug development (albeit at a slower pace). As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, DCTs are emerging as a vital component of the clinical research ecosystem. By leveraging technology and data to streamline processes and the need to enroll a greater diverse patient population, DCTs promise enhanced patient engagement, improved data quality, and accelerated study timelines. As with everything in life, nothing is always that simple. In this blog, we will explore the future of decentralized clinical trials and look at the challenges faced by sponsors, sites, and patients when planning, implementing, and running a DCT. We will also discuss how Medable is continuously adapting its platform and software capabilities to reduce risks and provide solutions that allow the benefits of DCTs listed above to be fully realized.


How platforms solved clinical trials’ disparate data problem across eCOA, eConsent, and more
Our world is drowning in data.
Humanity generates a staggering 402.74 million terabytes of information every day. From the countless videos we stream to the endless social media scrolling, our global digital footprint is growing exponentially. This data deluge is reshaping industries, influencing our lives, and posing unprecedented challenges.
Within clinical trials, rapidly evolving technologies are enabling researchers to capture new data points as trials grow more complex. However, this poses new challenges in managing clinical trial data.
