ERT Announces Virtual Visit Capabilities

ERT, a global data and technology company that captures endpoint data in clinical trials, has announced a Virtual Visit solution that enables the continuation of clinical trials during and after current global stay-at-home mandates. 

As a result of COVID-19, many clinical trials have been delayed as healthcare providers focus their efforts on patients who require urgent care, which limits clinical trial patients’ access to investigative sites for routine visits. In order to keep their studies on track, clinical trial sponsors and CROs need innovative solutions that enable investigative site personnel and patients to interact with each other, regardless of their physical location (often referred to as TeleHealth). 

ERT’s Virtual Visit solution enables at-home consultations between patients and investigative site personnel via a seamless, dedicated, secure app or web interface. The offering allows patients to consult with their clinicians safely from home, simplifying their participation in clinical trials and enabling researchers to continue collecting the important safety and efficacy data needed to support their development objectives. The solution complements ERT’s suite of safety and efficacy data capture solutions, improving patient engagement throughout ongoing and new clinical trials.
