Expansion of Modern Technology Adoption in Life Sciences
The modernization of today’s clinical trials proves to be an exciting time for many forward-thinking life sciences organizations, creating opportunities to drive cost-efficient clinical development with tech-enabled strategy. But as trials become increasingly decentralized, complex, and patient-centric, traditional methods have been pushed to their limits – often impacting cycle times and leaving stakeholders frustrated.
In this fireside chat, Raj Indupuri, CEO, eClinical Solutions, hosts Venu Mallarapu, VP of Global Strategy and Operations, eClinical Solutions, as they discuss advances in today’s clinical development processes and ways that life sciences companies can adopt new technologies to meet future demands.
The discussion shares:
- Current industry trends, challenges, and use cases that support the adoption of a clinical data cloud
- Automation across clinical trials and data acquisition, review, and analysis
- The current – and future state – of clinical data management
In June of 2022 Venu Mallarapu joined as Vice President of Global Strategy and Operations to help scale the global adoption, market expansion and innovation of eClinical’s modern clinical trial software and services.
