Clinical Trials & Handheld PDAs and Mobile Software

Clinical research is a very interesting industry to work. MobileDataforce is currently developing mobile software solutions (ePRO and eDiaries)for use on handheld PDAs for a number of different clinical research programs around the country. Let's identify some of the common terms you hear in this industry:
  • Clinical trials - controlled and monitored research following specific research standards

  • ePRO - electronic patient reported outcome (how did the medicine or treatement effect them?)

  • eDiary - electronic patient diary (how did you feel throughout the day?)

  • Real-time patient monitoring (near real time communication with mobile patients)

  • Patient self-reports (a patient reporting on themselves)

  • Clinical trial sponsors - the entity paying for the study?

  • Capturing clinical trial data
Capturing clinical trial data is where MobileDataforce excels. We have a number of different mobile handheld and Tablet PC solutions that are customized to fit specific clinical trial requirements.
