Clinical Trials
 
 
Digital Infuzion offers a range of IT solutions that help clinical trials groups consolidate, provide access to, and share scientific data across different departments and platforms. In addition, our solutions help clinical trials organizations meet one of the greatest challenges in the industry: the transition from paper-based operations to an electronic environment. Clients we have served in this industry include:

National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Division of AIDS
National Institutes of Health, National Heart, Lung,
and Blood Institute
National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, Central Institutional
Review Board
University of Colorado Cancer Center
Harvard Medical School, Center for AIDS Research
Serono Pharmaceuticals
HIV/AIDS Network Collaboration
Collaboration for AIDS Vaccine Discovery

Solutions We Offer
Benefits
Scalable, Robust Clinical Databases
  • We deploy teams of database designers and healthcare experts who bring together a strong understanding of the information systems and data types used in the clinical trials space.
  • We configure databases to hold viral, microbial, eukaryotic data, and animal data, as well as host (human) response data to support the design of new drugs, vaccines, and diagnostics.
  • We provide scalable database solutions that effectively support vaccine development, therapeutic intervention, antibiotic resistance, and rapid diagnosis.

Accurate Data Collection and Storage
  • Our database technology solutions focus on entering data accurately at the points of research and care. Hence, we design and implement business rules that identify erroneous data before it is entered into the database, thereby protecting experiments from medical errors.
  • We enable researchers to collect data more completely and correctly from the source through the use of permissible values tied to industry standards.

Developing and Implementing Industry Standards

We design clinical databases and clinical site monitoring systems using existing or emerging industry standards to ensure data interoperability during each stage of drug discovery and development.

In addition, we offer data warehousing solutions that involve compiling information from various therapeutic and prevention sources in accordance with standards prescribed by CDISC, HL7, and MedDRA.

Clinical Data Warehousing
We design and implement data warehouses to allow data from different therapeutic, prevention, and vaccine areas to be collected, stored, and shared at any point in time. What results is the ability to report to, interact with, and share information stored in a specific warehouse that complies with industry standards such as those defined by CDISC, HL7, and MedDRA.

Migration to a Fully Electronic Environment
To help pharmaceuticals move from costly paper-based operations to a fully-integrated electronic data capture (EDC) environment, Digital Infuzion provides Web services and database technology solutions tailored to the workflows, processes, and information requirements of clinical workers, administrators, and stakeholders. We offer complete solutions in this area, with services in business process reengineering, vendor analysis and selection, software development, systems engineering, implementation, and training.

Wireless Solutions that Support Mobility and Productivity
  • We implement secure wireless networks and mobile applications that connect clinical workers and technical staff to the information they need at any time, any place.
  • We provide dispersed research networks in remote locations with the ability to securely input and extract clinical data from a central repository.
  • We enable scientists and clinicians to use their mobile devices to access up-to-the-second clinical data, whether they’re on the run or in a different country. In addition, we design solutions that allow workers to receive information alerts that support intelligent decision making.
