ERT, a global data and technology company that minimises uncertainty and risk in clinical trials, has announced that Karin Beckstrom, who heads up the company's Innovation Lab, has been named a Top 20 Innovator by CenterWatch.
CenterWatch's list of Top 20 Innovators recognises the smart and talented industry representatives who are exploring and developing innovative products and services that will improve drug development over the next decade.
Beckstrom's recognition is based on results from a months-long proof of concept initiative she and a team of ERT developers executed, which explored how patients could benefit from using voice assistant technology instead of traditional, manual methods to submit clinical trial data. Developed in collaboration with Orbita, a healthcare software provider, ERT’s Voice Assistant Data Capture Solution simplifies patient data collection by enabling clinical trial participants to complete daily assessment surveys, report vital statistics measurements, ask questions, receive training and report health concerns via voice recognition technology. Additional applications are under development.
ERT’s Voice Assistant Data Capture Solution has great potential for capturing important real-world data from clinical trial participants, as well as from patients participating in post-launch, late phase programs. Patients with manual dexterity limitations - including those with rheumatoid arthritis or Parkinson's disease - may benefit the most from the technology. Instead of having to manually enter or write down answers, which may prove difficult, they simply need to vocalise their responses and the interface will enter the data.
