Infographic showing eClinical Solutions for the Clinical Trial Workflow.

Infographic showing eClinical Solutions for the Clinical Trial Workflow.

Jae Chung
I recently gave a presentation at “The Future of Clinical Trials” event in San Francisco.  The presentation focused on why clinical study start up needs to be reinvented.  By reinventing study start up to be more efficient, such efficiency gains would “trickle down” to positively impact study conduct and outcomes.  So what do we mean by trickle down? Trickle down means, if we have access to easy to use solutions in study start up, we will collectively raise our expectations and demand easier to use solutions. Such expectations would “trickle down” to study conduct. At the present time, study sponsors and managers have no choice but to live with the clunky and complex solutions offered by the clinical software providers.
The eClinical software space consists of numerous providers, addressing the clinical study workflow. There are limited cross platform standards, requiring sponsors and sites to use multiple solutions. Plus, most of them are complex, clunky and not optimized for the user experience.
The eClinical infographic below highlights numerous solutions which could benefit from better design and function. By improving study start up  solutions and processes (including Site Identification and Site Activation), people will come to expect better from their existing CTMS and EDC providers.
The infographic scratches the surface of the myriad of eClinical solutions serving the Clinical Research Community.  Have I missed any major categories? If so, please post your comment below, and I’ll be sure to include them in the next version.
