VirTrial Receives Acclaim as Leader in Life Sciences Solutions

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- VirTrial, a virtual clinical trial platform, was recently recognized by CIOReview as one of the '20 most promising pharma & life sciences tech solution providers of 2018.' The Innovative app also was selected as a finalist for the 'Fierce Innovation Award – Life Sciences Edition 2018' in the Digital Health Solutions Category, by FierceBiotech.

VirTrial's mobile-friendly app is a new breed of virtual trial platform that provides a hybrid model for clinical trials that require a combination of in-clinic and virtual visits. Its combined video, text, and email platform is available to any clinical site, operates on any device, and provides interpreter services for 20 languages via video and 183 via audio.

"Our aim is to replace 25 - 40 percent of clinical visits with virtual visits, as it is still crucial for patients to meet physicians in person, especially for the first visit when they discuss the trial details and get dispensed study medication," said Mark Hanley, Founder and CEO of VirTrial. "During the primary clinic visit, patients also undergo eligibility checks and physical examinations and get their medical records reviewed."

The VirTrial app reduces the burden on patients by making participation fit more easily into their lives and enabling visits over video from their home or office. VirTrial also benefits research sites by providing them with analytical dashboard reports in real-time that enable them to make preemptive decisions with regard to patient activity.

Ultimately, VirTrial aims to make clinical trials more convenient for patients, more efficient for research sites, and to expedite the introduction of effective medications in the market.
