Clinerion and ACRES Partner on Patient Recruitment and Risk-Based Quality Management
Clinerion, an eClinical technology services provider located in Basel, Switzerland, and the Alliance for Clinical Research Excellence and Safety (ACRES), a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based non-profit organization operating in the public interest and dedicated to building a global system to enhance quality, safety, integrity and operational effectiveness in biomedical product development and health research, are pleased to announce their partnership for accelerating patient recruitment and promoting risk-based quality management.
By aligning with ACRES integrated data source capabilities housing valuable study and site information, Clinerion's Quality Risk Radar will be able to significantly extend its support of risk-informed decision making during the clinical planning and execution process and thereby maintain and exceed study quality standards. Risk based Monitoring (RBM) becomes a reality when applying Clinerion's consulting and technology services as they enable all clinical research organizations to start projects quickly and rapidly pilot the new RBM approach and enabling technology by taking advantage of FREE and discounted services that Clinerion has pledged to ACRES.
Clinerion will provide to ACRES real-time access to millions of electronic health records (EHRs) coupled with the use of its Patient Recruitment System to find on average 30 times more trial candidates than conventional screening.
"We are delighted to join the ACRES Global Network and are pleased to make our easy-to-implement, industry-hardened solutions in Risk-Based Quality Management and Patient Recruitment available to ACRES. We do this for free or at very attractive conditions and we are convinced that this will translate into significant progress toward the common goals of enhancing quality and operational effectiveness in biomedical product development and health research," said Ulf Claesson, CEO of Clinerion.
ACRES COO, Matthew Whalen, noted, “Our relationship with Clinerion - as a Strategic Ally offering innovative solutions that already exist - demonstrates our ongoing commitment to improve clinical research processes globally and accountably. We are excited to be going forward as allies”.

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
