[ Oracle Health Sciences ] today introduced [ Oracle Health Sciences Mobile Clinical Research Associate ], which uses the power of mobile applications to help life sciences organizations compress clinical study cycle times and reduce costs by improving site monitoring efficiency and clinical research associate (CRA) productivity.
The mobile app, designed specifically for field use, is integrated with [ Oracle's Siebel Clinical Trial Management System ] and [ Oracle Health Sciences Clinical Development Analytics ] to provide CRAs with real-time access to essential clinical trial information, decision support data, and comprehensive trip reports in either offline or connected modes.
Site-at-a-glance capabilities provide study site performance indicators in a single view so CRAs have up-to-date site progress information at their fingertips, enabling more efficient, proactive planning and more productive site visits.
Study and site alerts notify CRAs of key milestones, activities and potential problems for the study sites they are monitoring, enabling them to respond quickly to emerging issues.
The solution's study site check-in feature automatically captures traveling CRAs' site check-in details via geo-location capabilities and incorporates the information into the trip report, streamlining documentation for regulatory compliance.
Oracle Health Sciences Mobile Clinical Research Associate runs natively on iOS and is now available for Apple [ iPhone ] or Apple [ iPad ] via the Apple iTunes Store.
