This year, the momentum centered on a unified mission: breaking down silos to build a truly connected clinical ecosystem that elevates the trial experience for sponsors, CROs, sites, and, most importantly, patients. <\/p>\n<p>We shared <a href=\"\/eu\/innovating-clinical-data-management-ai-esource-rbqm\/\">key innovations<\/a> that will finally bridge the current gap between these stakeholders and address the lack of a global standard to connect and map clinical data. For example, with <a href=\"\/eu\/blog\/veeva-esource-what-makes-it-different-this-time\/\">³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ eSource<\/a>, sites are in control of the technology and whether they choose to adopt it as their standard. This will help eSource adoption to scale where previous sponsor-owned (and imposed) tools have not.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/eu\/resources\/survival-of-the-fastest-a-practical-framework-for-risk-based-data-management\/\">Risk-based quality management (RBQM)<\/a> is a capability that has been around for many years, but still with relatively low industry adoption. ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ RBQM will be delivered within ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ CTMS and ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ DQS without adding another system to the clinical technology landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Franklin, director data management at GSK, said that, \u201cHaving ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ DQS as a center for data orchestration and high level management of risk \u2013 interlinking with different functions \u2013 gives a connected landscape that will provide oversight of the data. That value-driven cleaning in a risk-based approach will be key for assessing quality and driving change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By focusing on innovating for value, we will deliver <strong>three AI agents<\/strong> this year to automate processes across study build, testing, data collection, and data cleaning. These AI agent-based automations will help reduce burden for sites and data managers.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"leading-quote leading-quote--inline leading-quote--inline-in-content\">\n<div class=\"leading-quote__inner\">\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m excited about ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ\u2019s AI vision; that you\u2019re leaning into new technology and doing it in a use case-based way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"content-leading-quote__author\">\n<h6>Product Director<\/h6>\n<p>Top 20 biopharma<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>These much anticipated innovations will add to the value now being achieved by the industry using the ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Clinical Platform:<\/p>\n<h2>Modernizing eCOA operations and site experiences<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Fortrea<\/strong>: By changing ways of working, Fortrea is accelerating eCOA timelines and improving the user experience.<\/p>\n<p>Across their portfolio of ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ eCOA studies, Fortrea is delivering consistently with high patient compliance and de-risking the studies.
