Exco InTouch, the leading provider of patient communication solutions for the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors will showcase its portfolio of mobile Patient Reported Outcomes solutions at the 46th annual Drug Information Association meeting, June 13 – 17, 2010 in Washington, DC. The Exco InTouch range of clinical trial communication solutions will be showcased exclusively on booth #838. Exco InTouch will also be presenting a talk at the meeting on Patient Recruitment in a Technological Era as well as a poster on Electronic Data Capture Using the WOMAC NRS 3.1 Index.
At the DIA annual meeting, Exco InTouch will demonstrate its innovative software and service offerings, which offer pharmaceutical sponsors, CROs and patient recruitment agencies a cost-effective and simple technology to enhance patient communications. Innovations such as Exco InTouch's cell phone-based ePRO offerings have already helped many large pharmaceutical companies to enhance clinical trial communications and substantially improve the accuracy and integrity of patient data capture and compliance. By utilizing simple text message technology, alerts are delivered promptly to the clinical trial subject via their own mobile phone which directly links patients to their ePRO diary / assessment. These cell phone based methods are non-intrusive, offering sponsors a simple cost-effective, personal and direct-to-patient system of communication.
Exco InTouch will be showcasing its innovative solutions on booth #838. Visitors will be able to see demonstrations of:
- InTouch Clinical – Improving patient compliance and retention
- InTouch Recruit – Accelerating patient recruitment
- ePRO SMS / CELL / APP – Three simple yet powerful methods for patient data capture
At the DIA meeting, Exco InTouch CEO Tim Davis will be presenting a talk titled "Determining the Best Way to Reach and Support Patients in a Technological Era" on June 16 between 3.30pm – 5pm, as part of Session # 392 - Patient Recruitment in a Technological Era. The talk will focus on the effect of mobile communications on subject enrolment, retention and compliance. Tim Davis will also be presenting the results of the collaboration between Professor Nicholas Bellamy, Director of CONROD, University of Queensland and ExcoInTouch in a poster titled “Electronic Data Capture Using the WOMAC NRS 3.1 Index: A Pilot Study of Independent Remote Data Capture in OA” on Tuesday 15th June 12:00 - 13:30 and Wednesday 16th June 12:00 - 13:30.
