  • Publication number: 20150254432
    Abstract: A clinical trial engagement tool and method execute on a mobile computing device. The tool includes displays of information containing pre-enrollment content based on searches executed on the mobile computing device, wherein access thereto is enabled without requirement of a user-specific login or security key. The tool includes displays containing clinical trial patient participation content, wherein access thereto is enabled only upon completion of a user authentication and authorization process. A tracking mechanism of the tool generates data that tracks which of the plurality of displays containing pre-enrollment content are accessed. The tool displays information containing notification content that is automatically selected for display based on the tracked data, thereby transforming the data into parameters that define which displays of notification content are automatically selected for display.

  • Publication number: 20150046187
    Abstract: A system and method for connecting a clinical trial participant with a transportation provider. The system, based on information from an authentication mechanism, determines whether an individual requesting desired transportation is an authenticated clinical trial participant having a participant record in a patient recruitment management system database. The system, based on information from an authorization mechanism, determines whether the authenticated clinical trial participant is an authorized clinical trial participant for procurement of the transportation being requested. When the authenticated clinical trial participant is the authorized clinical trial participant for the desired transportation, the patient recruitment management system outputs an indication of approval to connect the clinical trial participant with a transportation provider.

  • Publication number: 20140379362
    Abstract: A clinical trial participant reimbursement system relies on a separate a patient tracking system having a patient database with a participant record unique identification string for each patient of a plurality of patients configured in such a way that maintains patient anonymity and does not itself convey patient identifying information. The clinical trial participant reimbursement system creates an association between the participant record unique identification string and a reloadable payment card unique identification string for a payment card assigned to each participant for receiving reimbursement payments. The payment card itself can be issued without being coupled to the patient's bank account, and by loading a payment card there is no need to issue checks with the patient's name (i.e., patient identifying information) thereon. The payment card can be issued with a zero balance, a pre-determined balance, or a customized balance indicated by the system and set at the time of the card activation.

  • Publication number: 20110125589
    Abstract: A system and method for gathering, managing, and analyzing patient recruitment contains logic configured to receive patient marketing material from a source and logic configured to determine whether the patient marketing material is approved for use by a system administrator. The system also contains logic configured to provide the patient marketing material to a sponsor of a clinical study requiring patient recruitment, where the patient marketing material is provided to the sponsor for approval by the sponsor, and the system contains logic configured to determine if regulatory approval of the patient marketing material is required. Further, the system contains logic configured to make the patient marketing material available to a patient investigatory site for use in recruiting a patient for the clinical study.
