OVERVIEW

ePRO CELL – Mobile telephone eDiary solution (ePRO) the world’s first validated eDiary on a mobile phone.

ePRO CELL works on almost all mobile handsets produced in the last 10 years, using the mobile phones built in internet browser. The subject, caregiver or site can also complete questionnaires using a laptop, tablet or PC.

ePRO CELL is fast and easy to deploy typically taking 4 weeks and costs a fraction of traditional ePRO.

Sites especially enjoy the reduced burden and workload this solution provides.

Subjects like the simple intuitive navigation, the speed, ease and convenience of discreet diary completion.

WHO IS IT FOR?

If you were thinking of using:

  • IVR ePRO - then the lack of an alarm functionality for IVR diaries means you may wish to consider implementing Exco text message reminders to ensure calls are made at the appropriate times, or you might want to consider mobile ePRO as as a more convenient and cost-effective solution for subjects, caregivers and sites.Traditional ePRO or PDA diaries then we would welcome the chance of showing you this and our other exciting mobile PRO alternatives as an alternative to expensive and logistically complex technology offerings.
  • PDA ePRO - Improves compliance and data quality but the cost, time to implement, unsupported devices  and significant logistical issues have often created unforeseen problems for sponsors.
  • Paper diaries - we can show you how we can help improve your paper PRO compliance rates or provide simple but more effective ePRO at paper PRO prices.

This simple solution is the perfect eDiary to gather your Patient Reported Outcome (PRO), Patient Recorded Outcome, 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.

  • 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 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 ePROIncreased Compliance of between 85% and 100%

HOW IT WORKS

ePRO CELL is fast easy, efficient to deploy and use.

  1. The site enters the subjects mobile phone number and email address (when appropriate) into the secure ePRO CELL portal.
  2. At the correct time the portal sends the subject a text message (and email) with a URL link to their diary.
  3. The subject opens the message and follows the link either using their cell phone or any standard Internet browser.
  4. They enter their secure log-in credentials to complete the diary questions.
    ePRO CELL is very similar in many ways to PDA ePRO in the way it functions and navigates.
  5. As each page is completed the data is saved at the server, providing a full date and time stamped audit trail.
  6. The site has immediate visibility over the blinded data. While the system performs routine checks across the data triggering alerts, reminders and new work flows if and when appropriate.

It's hard to believe its as simple as that.   You will no doubt have a lot of questions. Lets discuss these and show you ePRO CELL on your own mobile phone. Simply contact us
