New Medical Device Integrations at CRF Health
CRF Health
announced new medical device integrations to support both spirometers and glucometers used in Phase I-IV respiratory and diabetes clinical trials. CRF Health’s eDiary TrialMax® platform now integrates with Entra Health Systems’ Bluetooth-enabled MyGlucoHealth Wireless Meter and Vitalograph’s Asma-1 electronic Peak Flow Meter.
The wireless integration of our eDiaries with these medical devices results in more accurate data by removing the need for manual transcription of the data values. The date and time stamp of the reading and the device serial number are also transferred, providing evidence of the timeliness of the data and an attributable source. Once the eDiary receives the values from the glucometer or PEF meter, the values can automatically be sent to the ePRO database for review by the site personnel or study team. This allows very close to real-time monitoring of the subject’s status and permits timely intervention for safety or compliance concerns.
Benefits for clinical trial Sponsors include:
· Near real time access to all patient-generated data
· Defensible data that meets the FDA’s ALCOA standard
· Ease of use – no wires or cradles to connect
· High compliance to protocol (reminder alerts)
· No data transcription errors

AI in Clinical Trials: A Long, But Promising Road Ahead
May 29th 2024Stephen Pyke, chief clinical data and digital officer, Parexel, discusses how AI can be used in clinical trials to streamline operational processes, the importance of collaboration and data sharing in advancing the use of technology, and more.
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.
