Exco InTouch, a provider of patient engagement and data capture solutions for clinical research and healthcare providers, announces Gather™, its integrated technology system that can be accessed through any internet-connected device and replaces independent technology systems used in clinical trials with a module-based product suite.
Primary modules--or products within the suite--include Study Design, Workflow Integration and Study Management for sites and sponsors. For patients, modules are Enrollment, Patient Engagement and eCOA.
Gather™ provides two-way transfer of information between stakeholders and provides a role-based permissions user interface, providing appropriate levels of access, reporting and analytics according to the registered user. For example, Gather™ provides site investigators, healthcare professionals and study managers access to a tailored view of relevant data and results. The interface also ensures identifiable information (PII) is protected.
