The IMA Group’s division IMA Clinical Research will equip patients with AiCure’s patient engagement solution ‘Patient Connect’ to study health management outside a trial. This solution is intended to help patients manage their treatment at home.
Sponsors will get access to a diverse pool of patients with known adherence patterns across therapeutic areas that could be recruited for upcoming trials.
AiCure CEO Dr Ed Ikeguchi said: “The success of a clinical trial depends on the quality of its data, which often comes down to how likely a patient is to comply with treatment protocols.
“Understanding that risk and how a patient manages their health in a non-trial setting before recruiting them can make a critical difference in a trial setting.”
