BBK Worldwide Introduces e-BinderSM 2 at the 47th Annual Meeting of the Drug Information Association in Chicago

One of the major barriers to implementing a franchise or multi-study communications program using the iPad 2–despite its convenience and effectiveness–is the risk of unpredictable monthly data costs associated with the use of a 3G network. BBK’s e-Binder 2 completely mitigates this risk. The e-Binder 2 deploys a proprietary virtual “tunnel” that permits only designated IP addresses to be accessible through a 3G network, with other sites available using aWi-Fi connection. “By identifying this global tunnel, BBK has enabled clients to deploy the e-Binder as a work tool and be confident that data consumption is for study-related activities,” said BBK Worldwide CEO Joan F. Bachenheimer.
Today, many study protocols undergo more than five amendments. As each country’s regulatory bodies approve these amendments, the content accessible through the e-Binder 2 can be updated electronically within minutes.
Earlier this month, BBK deployed 50 e-Binders to clinical research associates working throughout Eastern Europe and Latin America to drive enrollment for a multinational multiple sclerosis study.
BBK partners with sister company TCN e-Systems to deploy patient recruitment solutions via mobile and online technologies. Direct connections between the e-Binder and the sponsor’s web-based portals, as well as content updates, are managed by TCN e-Systems.
BBK will exhibit the e-Binder 2 and other technology solutions for patient recruitment at the 47th annual meeting of the Drug Information Association, 19 – 23 June 2011, in Chicago (booth # 1616).

Clinical trials capture data faster than ever, but the real bottleneck is the distance between data capture and a decision teams can trust.
In today’s ACT Brief, we examine why the future of AI in trials is a trusted orchestration system rather than a single model, how coordinators rate eSource-enabled workflows, and what a bipartisan bill proposes for reusable trial networks.
The Faster Clinical Trials Act would create an FDA Center for Clinical Trial Innovation and aims to cut trial costs and enrollment time by at least 30%.
Standardized measurement across five oncology centers found that clinical research coordinators rated eSource-enabled workflows positively (Overall Mean Satisfaction 5.79 of 7), with reduced manual entry and electronic data transfer earning strong marks, while perceived reduction in sponsor and monitor queries lagged as the one domain below threshold.
In this video interview, Rajneesh Patil, global head of AI, digital, and innovation in clinical development at Syneos Health, describes the industry’s trajectory toward a unified intelligence orchestration environment—and explains why the future isn’t one model that knows everything, but a trusted system that brings the right evidence to the right human decision.
In today’s ACT Brief, we examine how sites can avoid both fear-driven and overly aggressive AI adoption, why community-based research needs sustained financial investment, and why patient access matters more than organizational size.
Pacing obesity trial enrollment, anchoring eligibility to stable real-world therapies, and building site and physician relationships improve retention and data quality more than aggressive recruitment or restrictive exclusion criteria do.
