Contract Research Organizations

LiveMetric offers significant value to Contract Research Organizations (CROs) by enhancing clinical trial data collection and improving patient monitoring, particularly in cardiovascular research and trials requiring frequent blood pressure and heart rate measurements.

1. Continuous, Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring

Challenge: Traditional blood pressure monitoring in clinical trials is often intermittent and requires manual measurements, which can miss critical data points.
Solution: LiveMetric’s continuous monitoring system provides real-time, 24/7 data without requiring clinic visits. This helps CROs capture more granular and accurate blood pressure trends over time, improving the quality of the trial data and patient safety monitoring.

2. Enhanced Data Accuracy and Compliance

Challenge: Ensuring that patients adhere to trial protocols for blood pressure and heart rate monitoring and recording can be difficult, especially in long-term studies.
Solution: LiveMetric’s wearable device ensures high compliance by reducing the need for manual patient involvement. The device’s automatic data capture improves the reliability and completeness of patient-reported data, minimizing gaps in reporting and reducing data loss or errors due to patient non-compliance.

3. Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) for Decentralized Trials

Challenge: Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs), where patients participate from home, are becoming more common. CROs need reliable RPM tools to monitor patients remotely.
Solution: LiveMetric can integrate with CROs’ remote monitoring platforms, allowing them to monitor cardiovascular health in real-time without requiring patients to visit clinical sites. This makes it easier to conduct decentralized trials, improving recruitment, retention, and data collection.

4. Reduced Need for Frequent Clinic Visits

Challenge: In traditional trials, patients often need to visit clinics for routine check-ups, which increases trial costs and participant burden.
Solution: With LiveMetric, CROs can reduce the number of required in-person visits by continuously tracking blood pressure and heart rate remotely. This helps lower trial costs and makes participation more convenient for patients, leading to improved recruitment and retention.

5. Early Detection of Adverse Events

Challenge: Detecting adverse events, such as sudden changes in blood pressure, can be delayed in trials with only periodic measurements.
Solution: LiveMetric’s continuous data streams allow for real-time detection of abnormalities, enabling faster intervention and potentially preventing serious adverse events during the trial. This improves patient safety and can help mitigate trial risks.

6. Data Integration with EHR and Trial Systems

Challenge: Many CROs struggle with integrating disparate data sources from clinical trials.
Solution: LiveMetric’s platform can be designed to integrate with electronic health records (EHRs) and clinical trial management systems, streamlining the data collection process for CROs. This can help optimize trial workflows and ensure seamless data transfer.

7. Regulatory Compliance Support

Challenge: Clinical trials are heavily regulated, and data collection methods must meet strict regulatory standards (FDA, EMA, etc.).
Solution: LiveMetric’s technology can help CROs meet these regulatory standards by providing validated, FDA-cleared medical devices for accurate data collection, reducing the risk of non-compliance.
