PHT Announces Exclusive ePRO Products at DIA 2007 while Celebrating 300 eDiary Clinical Trials
SimpleSend Wireless Pak, StudyPad tablet offer exciting and unique possibilities in clinical research
ATLANTA, GA AND BOSTON, MA – June 17, 2007 – PHT Corporation is celebrating its 300th eDiary clinical trial, by far the most in the industry, at the DIA Annual Meeting (Atlanta, GA, June 17-20) with several new ePRO products designed to enhance the reliability, convenience and safety of clinical trials worldwide.
With hands-on demonstrations at the PHT exhibit booth (#1114-1117) and educational DIA sessions, meeting attendees will be able to experience firsthand the power of using ePRO to listen to the voice of the patient:
- SimpleSend™ Wireless Pak – Exclusive offering is the latest addition to PHT’s family of transmission options. It attaches to Palm® handheld devices (e.g. a Tungsten™ E2 or TX) to enable reliable and rapid data transmissions over global cellular networks. The only truly mobile solution of its kind, the Wireless Pak maximizes subject convenience and provides study sponsors with the ability to use the LogPad® device of their choice anywhere in the world.
- StudyPad® Tablet – Advance preview of a large-screen ePRO solution for use by sites. It allows study coordinators to collect eSource quality of life and questionnaire data from multiple patients on one mobile device.
- Educational DIA Sessions – PHT founder Steve Raymond, Ph.D., will speak in two informative sessions regarding CDISC (Monday, 1:30-3pm, Medical/Scientific Writing track) and ePRO (Tuesday, 10-11:30am, eClinical).
Visitors to PHT’s booth will also gauge their cognitive capabilities by completing engaging assessments on eDiaries or by playing them on the entertaining Nintendo Wii. At the end of the show, PHT will raffle off the Wii - interested parties can enter the contest at www.phtcorp.com/wii (presence at the DIA meeting is not necessary either to enter or win).
For clients and colleagues attending DIA in person, PHT has reserved the roofdeck at Shout, Atlanta’s hottest lounge, for a cocktail reception under the stars on Monday night. Online registration can be found at www.regonline.com/shout.
“On behalf of PHT Corporation, I am pleased to announce the achievements PHT has accomplished since last year’s DIA Annual Meeting, culminating in our record 300th eDiary clinical trial from over 80 clients,” said PHT President and CEO Phil Lee. “I am especially excited about the Wireless Pak, an exclusive mobile solution which opens the world to total ePRO device choice freedom. Innovations such as these make our solutions even more accessible to patients and sites around the world.”
Added Lee, “I look forward to yet another productive and enjoyable DIA meeting. Every year, it offers us an ideal opportunity to learn about the evolving requirements of forward-thinking clinical teams. It also allows sponsors evaluating ePRO for upcoming clinical studies to discover the proven ROI, tangible data quality improvements and real-time trial management benefits offered by PHT across all therapeutic areas.”
