Larsen & Toubro Infotech Ltd (LTI) and eClinicalHealth Ltd have signed a strategic partnership to drive digital innovation in the R&D Clinical Trials Management process for patient-centric drug development. By establishing new clinical research benchmarks, the alliance is expected to assist clients in decentralizing clinical trials.
The partnership is significant because an estimated 86% of clinical studies are delayed owing to patient engagement difficulties, mainly recruiting and retaining participants, which is a time-consuming and expensive procedure, according to LTI.
To solve this issue, eClinicalHealth recently launched Clinpal, a cloud-based patient-centric software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that boosts patient participation throughout the clinical trial process.
LTI will accelerate collaborative go-to-market efforts and faster deployment for Clinpal adopters as part of this agreement. The solution will employ exponential technologies like analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve patient engagement and speed up clinical research.
“Our endeavour with eClinicalHealth partnership is to accelerate and streamline the enablement of decentralized trials, to reduce patient burden and drive acceleration of clinical trials. With this partnership we aim to accelerate the development and deployment of eClinicalHealth’s Clinpal platform in clinical trials for the industry,” said Archana Ramanakumar, global delivery head – Life Sciences, Media, Consumer & Technology, LTI.
