MATRIX ePRO

MATRIX ePRO is used in clinical trials to collect electronic patient-reported outcomes. Electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) are patient-provided information about symptoms, side effects, drug timing and other questions recorded on an electronic device during a clinical trial.

BRING-YOUR-OWN-DEVICE (BYOD) & NON-BYOD
Data can be entered both on a sponsor owned device as well as on a patient’s personal mobile device.

REMOTE DATA COLLECTION
Patients can enter data remotely into their own devices, without having to visit sites. The app is supported by over 90% of all the smartphones and tablets produced worldwide.

OPERATES OFFLINE
Patients can enter data even when they do not have an Internet connection. All input data is saved and synchronized with the Cloud and then automatically uploaded to the EDC, once re-connected.

DATA SECURITY
Automatic data back-up every 24 hours. A patient is not required to enter their personal data to access the app.

ADVANCED PATIENT’S EXPERIENCE
Patients do not need to memorize when they need to access the app or create reminders for it. The system will take care of it. All the notifications for filling out the questionnaires show up offline as well.


ADVANTAGES FOR SPONSORS
Cleaner data due to the reduced number of errors compared to paper diary forms since most of the answer fields are standardized (e.g. the system will not allow blood pressure to be entered as a percentage or heart rate to have a 4-digit number) Full and strict compliance with protocol due to an audit trail. The notification system removes the risk of entering incorrect or insufficient data. Study budget-cutting opportunities due to the reduced number of monitor hours and saving on printing and logistics costs.

ADVANTAGES FOR PATIENTS
There is no need for patients to memorize when to access the application, since they will receive reminders sent by the app. Moreover, patients will receive notifications even if offline. Increased patient engagement and their interest in study. Patients more acutely consider themselves a part of a trial and, as a result, demonstrate more responsibility towards submitting the results. Easy-to-use filtering options and diaries and questionnaires status facilitate the filling-out process for a patient when using the app. Data can be entered easily and does not take much time to find.

ADVANTAGES FOR INVESTIGATORS
Saving time and resources because there is no need to transfer investigator’s data from paper to eCRF anymore. There is no need for investigators to check the data entered by patients due to the automated check, which also removes the risk of losing data. Moreover, since there is no chance of the data not being filled out, an investigator does not have to spend time restoring it. Easy-to-find-and-process data. All the information is instantly available online.
