BioClinica®, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOC), a global provider of
clinical trial management solutions, announced that it is, together with
C.R. Bard, a 2012 winner of Microsoft Corporation’s prestigious Life
Sciences Innovation Award. The awards, announced at the Drug Information
Association’s (DIA) 48th Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, honor companies
that use Microsoft solutions to realize business and information
technology benefits. BioClinica was recognized for revolutionizing
medicine development by helping its clients bring therapeutic
breakthroughs to the market faster, fight serious ailments, improve
healthcare, and enhance people's quality of life.
“Now more than ever, the life sciences industry is faced with many
challenges including cutting costs and bringing new drugs and therapies
to market faster,” said Andrea McGonigle, national managing director,
Life Sciences, Microsoft Corporation. “We are impressed with how the
winners demonstrate sustainable impacts through technology, and are
proud that Microsoft’s software plays an important role in enabling
these achievements in life sciences.”
BioClinica was recognized for the "Monitor Visit Report" capability of
its OnPoint Clinical Trial Management System, developed for C.R. Bard,
which makes it easier for clinical site monitors to enter essential
study information. By synchronizing local Word documents through
SharePoint, the data becomes a connected list which is then transferred
and updated within OnPoint CTMS. Site monitors can complete forms
anywhere, always benefiting from maximum ‘local quality’ intelligence,
and synchronize the data with the web-based CTMS system whenever
internet connectivity is present resulting in time savings of thousands
of hours and dramatically reducing trial costs.
BioClinica and C.R. Bard were chosen for this award from a collection of
life sciences corporations in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and
medical device industries that are creatively applying technology to
develop therapeutic innovations. Winners were selected by a panel of
industry experts. See more on the Microsoft website at http://www.microsoft.com/lifesciences
and on the Microsoft in Health blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/microsoft_in_health/.
“We are honored to have C.R. Bard and BioClinica receive this award in
recognition of our partnership to bring new innovations to market. The
power of being able to run a clinical trial from one's Microsoft Outlook
client is extremely powerful as visit reports, open action items,
clinical documents and monitoring visits are available everywhere,
anytime. The moment you connect to a network everything is instantly
updated, something which no other CTMS or clinical suite of products has
the power to do,” said Peter Benton, President, eClinical Division of
BioClinica.
BioClinica is also demonstrating Express EDC and OnPoint CTMS Metro apps
on slate computers running beta versions of Windows 8 at the Drug
Information Association conference, June 24 – 28, 2012 at the
Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. To see the apps in
