SureClinical Automates Paper-Based Regulatory Processes for Customer Success
SureClinical automates manual paper-based BioPharma clinical operations and other ‘hybrid’ manual and electronic processes for BioPharma and medical device clinical trials. With SureClinical’s new patent “System and Method for Managing and Sharing Pharmaceutical Clinical Trial Regulatory Documents, US Patent 9,378,205,” SureClinical is the only eClinical cloud applications company that can offer multichannel content capture, classification and completion in eTMF applications that supports both paper-based content with barcodes and electronic content in a trusted cloud based platform.
SureClinical Patent Covers Automated Hybrid Content Collection
Clinical trial and healthcare applications often need to support a combination of paper-based and electronic processes. SureClinical’s patent covers ‘hybrid’ content collection and automation solutions – defined as solutions that need to support both paper and electronic content capture, classification, completion and sharing, all within a trusted, FDA compliance validated system.
“While SureClinical’s Network Applications Platform fully supports the industry trend to move away from paper in clinical trials and healthcare toward all electronic content and digital signatures, nonetheless paper and manual processes will continue for some time,” said SureClinical CEO Zack Schmidt. “SureClinical’s patent addresses the need to automate both paper-based and electronic processes in a true hybrid cloud-based eClinical solution.”
