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.


Connecting in new ways: Our partnership with Withings Health Solutions
In June, Medable announced a partnership with Withings Health Solutions with the goal of reducing the burden on sponsors and sites while empowering patients to participate in trials from home.


What does the new European Medicine Regulatory Network recommendation paper on decentralized elements in clinical trials tell us?
Learn what impacts the new European Medicine Regulatory Network recommendations paper means to your clinical trial operations.


New EU Regulatory Recommendations for Decentralized Trials Keep Focus on Patients and Sites
As clinical trials rapidly modernize, government regulators work to evolve even as the same core principles apply. Still, decentralized clinical trials are – simply – clinical trials, as all research today is decentralized in some way, yet we lack global harmonization of regulations.


ePRO Case study: Better options and outcomes oncology trials.
Medable worked with a top 5 pharma company to increase the safety of patients as anti-cancer treatments may cause pulmonary toxicity, ranging from asymptomatic radiological changes to respiratory failure, and is considered a common side effect.


Actionable data: How to deploy & use patient-centric data collection to improve patient experiences & sharpen decision making
Medable's Gillian Livock, SVP/GM Digital Solutions and Sean Connelly, SVP, Product Management, join Antoine Pivron, Head of Health Solutions EMEA at Withings, to discuss the industry's move toward patient-first data collection, how to increase operational efficiencies, enhancing the patient experience in clinical trials using data, and how to use data insights to drive key decision-making.


Back to Basics: Remote patient monitoring
Remote patient monitoring programs and technologies are becoming increasingly popular, backed by growing clinical evidence showing numerous benefits to patients and providers. While remote patient monitoring (RPM) isn’t new, it’s evolving quickly due to the regulatory push to expand access to care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Coupled with the fact that the digital health market is poised to more than double by 2026, providers and patients have a greater ability to track vitals between visits, and both centralized and decentralized clinical trials rely on remote data collection now more than ever. While there is tremendous potential upside, some barriers and risks are inherent in this digital process. Human-centered design and strategic implementation can ensure that RPM in clinical trials is both beneficial and cost effective.
