ePRO APP - The worlds first JAVA MIDLET eDiary solution (ePRO) for use on mobile phones, smartphone, PDA, Tablets and PCs - Connectivity not required.

A more efficient way to gather data from subjects, care givers and sites that is simple and quick to set up and easy to use by all trial participants.

Our ePRO APP solution improves upon the now familiar and complex handheld ePRO technology. The differences are significant:

• We can use the subjects own mobile phone, Smartphone, PDA or computer or provide a cell phone to patients if required
• At a minimum, data connectivity is only required for authentication and close-out
• ePRO APP uses powerful but simple software to:

1. force easy loading "over the air" making it easy for subjects and sites
2. ensure regulatory compliance
3. provide privacy and data protection
4. easy and intuative for users

This simple solution is the perfect fully functional eDiary to gather your Patient Reported Outcome (PRO), Quality of Life (QoL), Clinical Scales / Assessments, site survey, or Health Economics Outcomes data.

There is now a more efficient way to gather data from subjects, care givers and sites that is simple and quick to set up and easy to use by all trial participants.

Over 4 billion mobile / cell phones are used globally and 60% of the world’s population now own a cell phone.

Exco InTouch has harnessed this ubiquitous communication technology for use in clinical trials and healthcare programs with outstanding success and adoption.

Nobody goes anywhere without their wallet, car keys and cell phone which ensures that this technology solution enjoys unrivalled adoption globally.

You benefit by:

• Minimal connectivity required - at worst case just 2 times - at study start and end
• Reduced hardware procurement costs
• Reduced data contracts and roaming charges. Subjects appreciate the data stipend.
• No complex devices to store, manage, buy, ship, import/export then repatriate and re-store. Reducing study risk, cost, import and export charges/burden
• We can provision devices if desired, locally within country using low cost pay-as-you-go phones
• The subjects cell phones is nearly always on, charged, available and ready to go. The subject knows how to use it reducing site device preparation time and training burden
• Using ePRO CELL is as easy as reading a text message. Subjects and sites navigate with ease on their own phone
• Using your own phone saves managing and charging a 2nd device and is more discreet
• We often deliver within 4-6 weeks, reducing the study team burden and work load significantly
• Using the subjects own mobile phone makes it easier to run Adaptive studies as device logistics is not a consideration. Giving you greater flexibility to find subjects, scale up or scale down without worrying about ePRO
• Increased Compliance of between 85% and 100%
• Regulatory Compliant – the system is validated, available in all languages, has a full audit trail and is compliant with all ePRO regulations, HIPAA and country-specific data privacy requirements
• A lucky side benefit with ePRO CELL is improved subject retention and reduced lost to follow. This has been as much as 20% to 40%

ePRO APP delivers a traditional a PDA ePRO style solution right to the subjects own mobile phone. Just like a game or the new iPhone Apps you might have seen.

At minimum we only require two data connections:

1. At setup
2. At completion

This makes this solution perfect for use in hospitals, sites or for studies where subjects have poor mobile network coverage.

This is how it works:

1. The site visits the Exco InTouch, secure ePRO APP portal and enters the subjects mobile phone number.
2. The portal sends a service text message to the cell phone.
   In some cases site staff will register their own phone. For example if a study nurse was using the application to screen suitable subjects at the bedside or conduct site surveys.
3. The link in the message is selected and the application is automatically downloaded to the device and started ready for the site to enter the subject credentials. Once entered select save.
4. The subject is prompted to perform:
      -  a secure password setting routine
      -  read and confirms that they understand the instructions
      -  completes training diary before leaving the site
      -  ePRO APP records and encrypts the data in these sessions.
      -  when completed the user can begin diary completion as per the alerts and reminders
5. As soon as the device senses data sending capability it transmits the encrypted data.
6. Once the server confirms safe receipt the data is deleted automatically from the device.
7. While connected it checks the device, diary version and automatically loads any protocol amendments that may be needed.

ePRO APP is incredibly simple to use and deploy.
