Built for Academic Research
Institutional-grade clinical trial software with academic friendly pricing. Run investigator initiated trials with the same tools used by global pharma.
The Challenges You Face
Limited IT Resources
Academic institutions rarely have dedicated clinical trial IT teams. Setting up, validating, and maintaining trial technology falls to already-stretched research staff.
Budget Constraints
Commercial CTMS and EDC platforms are priced for pharma budgets. Academic-funded trials need enterprise capabilities at a fraction of the cost.
Regulatory Burden
Investigator-initiated trials face the same regulatory requirements as industry trials, but with fewer compliance resources and less vendor support.
Data Quality Concerns
Paper-based and spreadsheet workflows introduce errors, lack audit trails, and create problems during regulatory inspections and publication peer review.
Multi Center Coordination
Coordinating across university hospitals and research sites without standardized systems leads to protocol inconsistencies and data heterogeneity.
