CRF Health is First to Gain FDA Registration, and 21CFR 820 Recognition, of their TrialMaxR ePRO System as Medical Device
In accordance with the new FDA regulation, set in April this year, CRF Health’s TrialMax® has become the first ePRO system to complete its Medical Device registration, a regulation that concerns medical device data systems (MDDS) that collect information from apparatus such as spirometers and glucometers.
TrialMax® is categorized as a Class 1 MDDS under regulation 21CFR 880.6310 (code OUG). And because it uses alarms to remind subjects when to take their study medication, it’s also classified as a ‘medication reminder’ under regulation 21CFR 890.5050 (code NXQ). This makes TrialMax® exempt from pre-market review but still subject to medical device 21CFR 820 quality standards, a practice to which CRF Health is fully compliant.
Rachael King, CEO explains, “CRF Health improves data collection by removing the barriers between intimate patient experiences and the technology designed to capture them.”

Patient Engagement Platform Checklist
November 22nd 2024Modern clinical trials are more complex than ever, and one significant reason is the increased focus on patient engagement. Incorporating a patient engagement platform into your clinical trial enhances the patient experience and can lead to more successful trials with stronger, more reliable outcomes. We put together this helpful checklist of key features to look out for when choosing a platform for your study.
The Rise of Predictive Engagement Tools in Clinical Trials
November 22nd 2024Patient attrition can be a significant barrier to the success of a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Today, with the help of AI-powered predictive engagement tools, clinical study managers are finding ways to proactively reduce attrition rates in RCTs, and increase the effectiveness of their trial. In this guide, we look at the role AI-powered patient engagement tools play in clinical research, from the problems they’re being used to solve to the areas and indications in which they’re being deployed.
