We’re thrilled to introduce a suite of new innovative features in the Climedo platform, designed to enhance the efficiency, user experience and global reach of clinical trials. These updates empower patients, investigators and sponsors with tools that streamline workflows, boost engagement and improve data quality. Here’s a closer look at what’s new:
Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCT)
Subject-Facing Progression Widget
Patients are at the heart of clinical trials, yet they often lack clear insights into their progress. With Climedo’s new progression widget, patients can visualize their own progression within a trial based on defined data points, such as cholesterol levels, through electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes (ePRO). With this additional level of transparency, you will achieve:
- Motivation and retention: Empower patients with relevant data to boost motivation and reduce drop-out rates.
- Improved outcomes: Facilitate better engagement for more successful trial results.
One Question per Page
Enhance user experience by displaying one question (or a group of questions) per ePRO page, thus ensuring a smoother, more focused ePRO fill-out process:
- Simplified navigation: No excessive scrolling; focus on one question at a time.
- Reduced bias: Questions are revealed step-by-step.
- Performance optimizations: Meets licensed questionnaire requirements while reducing complex workarounds.
- Customization: Flexibility to group questions into sections or display them individually, all with dependencies and validations intact.
Core EDC Enhancements
Nested Conditions for Form Dependencies
Advanced logic capabilities enable nested “AND/OR” rules for individual condition groups, delivering:
- Workflow simplification: Reduce setup steps and forms by up to 30%, improving system performance and stability.
- Enhanced user experience: Intuitive workflows for patients and sites, reducing redundant questions and entry errors.
- Lower training efforts: Simplified workflows lead to faster onboarding and decreased need for troubleshooting.
Pre-Defined Input Field Formats
Ensure data accuracy with standardized input field formats for ePROs and eCRFs:
- Improved data quality: Minimize entry errors and maintain consistency.
- Customization: Use regular expressions for tailored validation, complementing existing edit checks.
Enhanced Internationalization and Language Support
Preferred Contact Language Per Patient
Deliver a seamless experience by supporting patients in their preferred language:
- Translations apply to ePRO emails, forms, success screens, participant consent forms and the entire self-registration flow.
- Spanish has been added as a subject-facing system language (in addition to English and German), broadening accessibility.
Time Zones for ePROs
As trials expand globally, local time zones are crucial:
- Global consistency: Deliver ePROs at 9 AM local time, regardless of patient location.
- Operational efficiency: Automate scheduling based on site-specific time zones, ensuring accurate delivery and reducing errors.
Site Engagement Widgets
Introducing two new dashboard widgets to foster site engagement:
Subject Enrollment Widget
Data Completion Widget
These tools provide real-time transparency into site performance, enabling:
- Improved Recruitment and Data Quality: Sites are motivated by comparing their performance against others.
- Effective Communication: Monitors can identify underperforming sites and collaborate on solutions.
- Sponsor Oversight: Sponsors gain instant insights into site enrollment and data completion, ensuring swift action for weaker sites.
