Patient sensor solution for clinical trial data launched

PAREXEL International, a global biopharmaceutical services provider, has launched its patient sensor solution, for the secure capture, transmission, storage and visualisation of study subject data in clinical trials.

This offering is powered by the Perceptive My Trials Analytics platform and can facilitate the remote collection of study subject data via medical devices. Collecting clinical data through wearables and sensors may have the potential to reduce or replace clinical assessments and/or on-site visits during clinical trials.

“Due to evolving regulatory and payer standards in today’s healthcare market, there is a growing need to leverage alternative data sources in clinical trials,” said Xavier Flinois, president, PAREXEL Informatics. “Wearables and sensors have the potential to transform Phase I-IV trials as well as observational studies. However, infrastructure and multi-functional expertise are needed to validate the appropriate use of medical devices to generate clinical and quality-of-life endpoints. PAREXEL’s offering could disrupt the industry standard of collecting data during site visits only, allowing biopharmaceutical sponsors to more easily demonstrate safety and/or efficacy and differentiate treatments from competition using remote monitoring approaches.”
