This post is the first in a two-part blog series where E.K. Koh, Chief Product Officer at Suvoda and Andrew McVeigh, Chief Architect at Suvoda discuss the benefits of the Suvoda Platform.
Snapshot:
- Meeting modern trial needs: The Suvoda Platform bridges the growing complexity of clinical trials with straightforward experiences for sponsors, sites and patients.
- Unified technology: A single platform connects eConsent, IRT, eCOA, and ePatient with a common data layer and user experience, enabling better decision making and reducing human error.
- Innovation leadership: Recent developments include the patient-facing Suvoda app and two U.S. patents for platform architecture and questionnaire development.
The Suvoda Platform brings calm and control to life-changing clinical trials
The Suvoda Platform is a unified, native-built technology platform that houses a suite of clinical trial software solutions that seamlessly work together to support patients, sites, and trial sponsors.
In clinical trials, every moment matters. When a patient needs their medication adjusted, when research sites must capture time-sensitive data about patient symptoms, or when sponsors need to make quick decisions about drug supply—these critical moments demand technology that works flawlessly.
The Suvoda Platform enables teams to manage these crucial moments, helping trials run efficiently while keeping the experience straightforward for everyone involved.
"One of the things that has been happening in the last couple of years is that clinical trials are getting more complex. But at the same time, there's the expectation that the site user experience and the patient user experience should get simpler," explains E.K. Koh, Chief Product Officer at Suvoda. "So how do you bridge that divide? The best way to do it is through technology."
The Suvoda Platform doesn’t just bring together our software products—Suvoda eConsent, Interactive Response Technology (IRT), electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment (eCOA), and ePatient—and their associated data streams—we’ve purpose-built them as part of a dynamic ecosystem that harmonizes the complex interdependencies across their features and functions. The result? The right user is thoughtfully engaged, at the right moment, with the information and insights they need to calmly make the next right decision. The Suvoda Platform helps trials to run smoothly, patients to stay engaged, and high-quality data reaches regulators faster.
Meeting today's clinical trial challenges
When patients join a clinical trial, they're often facing one of the most challenging periods in their lives. And, sites are managing complex protocols requirements while trying to give each patient the attention they deserve.
The Suvoda Platform works quietly in the background to handle technical complexities so that sites can focus on patient care and sponsors can concentrate on advancing the trials.
The platform not only manages sophisticated protocol requirements, consent management, drug supply logistics, data collection, and patient payment needs, it is designed with a user-friendly, intuitive interface that doesn't add to the mental load of patients or site staff.
A platform built for real-world needs
Modern clinical trials require multiple software tools, from managing informed consent to collecting patient outcomes data. But just as patients shouldn’t need multiple apps to participate in a trial, clinical trial teams shouldn't have to switch between disparate systems to manage their studies. The Suvoda Platform brings together essential trial tools in one place. The platform manages the sequence of clinical processes, so sites and sponsors are intuitively guided through complex protocols to minimize the risk of human error.
"Everything we build basically has the value of being on top of the platform," explains Andrew McVeigh, Chief Architect at Suvoda. "We're not bringing isolated products together and trying to integrate them. They're integrated by default."
This unified approach means trial teams can:
- Access all trial tools through a single sign-on
- Move smoothly between different tasks without switching systems or re-entering data
- Keep all trial data synchronized and up-to-date across different functions
- Implement protocol changes without disrupting ongoing trial operations
