Web-based system puts sponsors running brain function clinical trials in the know
CogState Ltd. (Melbourne, Australia) has released the first real-time cognitive data monitoring system, called DataPoint, which allows pharmaceutical companies to access, monitor, and review data from global, multicenter trials at a central and secure Web-based location. The tool is targeted toward trials where cognitive function is the primary endpoint and represents a significant technological departure from paper and pencil cognitive brain function measurements.
One of the main benefits, says CogState, is that DataPoint enables clinical researchers to respond much more quickly to data coming out of clinical trials. For example, DataPoint delivers cleaned datasets and cognitive reports to pharmaceutical clients within hours of study completion, compared to the usual weeks. DataPoint also functions as the main point of contact between sponsors and CogState, and all study-specific software and manuals required to upload data and run a trial are accessible from one central source.

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.
