Symfo introduces ePRO/EDC data integration solutions: A Single Portal Patient Management Solution

Boston, MA — March 27, 2009 — Symfo, a leading provider of electronic patient reported outcome (ePRO) solutions for clinical trials, today announced that it has developed several e-dairy data formats which allow PUSH integration into existing EDC platforms.

Physicians can now access ePRO data directly from their EDC site, easily identify compliance, symptom and questionnaire data, review and respond to any ALERTS which may have been issued and respond to any data queries which have been generated within the system.

"Today's clinical investigation sites have many administrative and technical challenges to address. By integrating access to ePRO data within the EDC platform, we eliminate the need for multiple web portals and increase the usability of the data. Properly designed, the ePRO data collected can provide important insights into the patient's response to treatment, facilitate the review of the patient's responses between visits and provide valuable support to patients when ALERTS are generated", stated SYMFO's CEO Serge Bodart. "By integrating patient reported outcomes within the EDC system, investigators are better able to identify potential issues, review recent lab data and visit notes and take action. Through the ePRO ALERT system, investigators receive e-mail, fax or SMS text alert messages and can review full patient data literally from anywhere in the world and initiate an action which can be tracked."

SYMFO e-diaries offer a unique mode of data transmission which is based upon sound and operates with any standard landline telephone system anywhere in the world, guaranteed.
