Statistics & Data Corporation (SDC) has announced the launch of its bring-your-own-device (BYOD) electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) solution for clinical trials.

This platform aims to streamline trials by eliminating paper-based processes and leveraging personal devices to improve efficiency and data quality.

SDC’s BYOD ePRO solution is designed to be cost-efficient and fully digitises data collection, thereby eliminating the need for paper forms.

Designed to comply with 21 CFR Part 11 and meet the highest industry validation standards, the solution reduces waste and potential errors and accelerates data management and processing.

Its user-friendly nature is expected to enhance participant adherence by integrating seamlessly into their daily lives.

This ease of use is anticipated to improve patient recruitment and retention, as well as data accuracy.

SDC CEO Dr Richard Abelson said: “Our BYOD ePRO solution represents a significant advancement in eliminating paper, enhancing participant experience, and optimising trial efficiency. We are confident it will deliver exceptional results more affordably and efficiently than any other competing technologies.”

The platform's real-time reminders, support, and feedback through personal devices are designed to lead to quality data and reliable trial outcomes. This is beneficial for both researchers and participants, ensuring that the trials are optimised for success.

This solution is now made available for implementation.

SDC COO Faith Kolb said: “SDC Capture BYOD is an integral part of our product growth strategy. We continue to focus our resources and invest effectively in technology development and optimisation that will drive the next generation of clinical research solutions.”
