Academic researchers are at the forefront of innovation, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and driving scientific progress. IMC's adherence-focused technologies offer a unique opportunity to automate tedious tasks, investigate adherence, and conduct novel research with ease.
Solutions
Automate Tedious Work
Manual data collection and documentation Med-ic® and eCap™ automatically track doses and adherence, freeing up valuable time for data analysis and exploration. These devices seamlessly integrate into your research protocols, streamlining data acquisition without adding any additional burden on participants or your team.
Study Adherence Factors
Understanding medication adherence is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Our solutions provide detailed insights and analysis options, and automatically identify dosing patterns and trends. This can accelerate your efforts in understanding root adherence factors the impacts of non-adherence on patient health.
Conduct Innovative Research
Whether you are studying the impact of adherence on treatment outcomes, the health obstacles facing certain patient populations, or the effectiveness of specific adherence interventions, our solutions provide a robust platform for academic inquiry. With real-time data collection and analysis, researchers can advance their research agenda and make meaningful contributions to their field.
Learn More about the Products that Power our Solutions
The original smart blister package. Breaking a blister records the time and location (i.e. “8:00 a.m.” and “Day 1, Morning”). Med-ic® can be customized to work with any blister design and dose pattern.
The superior smart cap. Unscrewing and removing the eCap™ records the opening time. Several diameter and threading options are available to fit all common bottle types.
Consumer-quality software for clinical trials. Securely store, analyze, and action the data from smart packaging and other adherence devices. The CertiScan® Adherence Platform
includes web portals, mobile apps, developer tools, and a secure, central cloud.
Our experts have modelled the relationship between statistical power, sample size and medication adherence.
Their findings? For every 1% adherence increase, there can be a 2% reduction in trial size (N) while holding statistical power constant.
Considering that many trials currently only reach 50% adherence, there’s lots of room for improvement – and tremendous ROI.
Direct Savings from Reduced N
Processing a participant is expensive. Requiring a smaller sample size could amount to millions of dollars in savings.
Additional Weeks of Patent Protection
Smaller N means a faster trial, potentially by months. This could amount to tens of millions of dollars in additional revenue.
Compensate for Low or Slow Enrollments
It can be challenging to recruit enough participants - especially for niche diseases and even worldwide. Better data means fewer patients are needed overal.
Smart packaging is the ideal data source: it is accurate, automatic, and passive. There is no extra effort on the participant’s part since they were going to take a dose anyways (or not - which smart packaging can also detect!)
Inappropriate medication use is widespread in clinical research. This can harm individual participant outcomes, jeopardize trial outcomes, and cause hidden errors that are only discovered post market or after publishing (such as a poorly titrated dosage or undiscovered side effect).
Our solutions make it easy to detect and treat these harmful issues. Many protective features are automatic, such as mobile reminders, misuse alerts, targeted coaching.
Shorter trials that reach their endpoints more quickly can gain weeks or months of additional patent protection. This can amount to substantial additional revenue.
Our solutions help studies reach last dose, last participant sooner.
Improve timelines by:
Automating data collection
Replacing diaries and ePRO with smart packaging
Letting CertiScan preprocess and analyze data
Integrating CertiScan with RTSMs, EDCs, and other platforms
Clinical trials are becoming increasingly complex and expensive. Certain activities in a protocol seem straightforward on paper, but in practice can translate into dozens of hours of site work.
Use our solutions to help eliminate needless overhead and streamline processes.
New, technology-first strategies are transforming clinical trials. DCTs, participant diversity initiatives, and AI tools are changing from “nice-to-haves” into “must-haves”.
Our solutions are modern tools for modern trials that can help researchers and other stakeholders gain and maintain an advantage.
Adopt CertiScan and smart packaging to:
Meet FDA trial modernization guidelines
Model PK and PD with adherence data
Satisfy internal and external innovation requirements
Build accurate, objective datasets for use in AI models, participant diversity initiatives, DCT tools, and more
Publish unique studies that stand out in the literature
