This post is the second 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. You can read part one here.
Snapshot:
- A Unified Approach to Clinical Trials – The Suvoda Platform’s unified architecture simplifies trial execution for patients, sites, and sponsors.
- Patented Innovation, Real-World Impact – The technology behind the Suvoda Platform enables customization, accelerates trial setup, and maintains compliance.
- Flexibility Without Complexity – No-code/low-code, and fully programmable options keep trials of all complexities running smoothly and efficiently.
The Suvoda Platform is a purpose-built technology platform that houses a suite of clinical trial software solutions that seamlessly work together to support patients, sites, and trial sponsors. Because each product is built and interconnected on our unified platform and supported by a single project team, the experience for patients, sites, and sponsors aims to be calm, elegant, and unobtrusive.
The underlying architecture and thoughtful innovation behind the Suvoda Platform has earned recognition through two U.S. patents. But what matters isn't the patents themselves—it's how this technology transforms trial execution.
"Our sponsors can have the assurance that the benefits and the speed in which we deliver to them is backed by real differentiated technology. It is not just marketing," notes E.K. Koh.
"From a technical perspective, it means that the products are all very naturally integrated and they work seamlessly together. So technically, it also enables us to deliver faster," adds Andrew McVeigh.
The platform's patented architecture allows each trial to be fully customized while maintaining the efficiency of a cloud-based system. This means sponsors can adapt the platform to their specific protocol requirements without sacrificing the benefits of standardization.
A second patent focuses on accelerating questionnaire development and modification—traditionally a significant bottleneck in trial implementation—while maintaining validation standards.
Making complex trials more straightforward to run
Clinical trials vary in their complexity. While some follow uncomplicated protocols, others require intricate dosing schedules, complex eligibility criteria, or specialized data collection requirements. The Suvoda Platform adapts to these varying needs without compromising on reliability or compliance.
"We can extend [our solutions] in a modular fashion, so we really don't have to ever say no to a complexity of a trial," explains Andrew McVeigh. "We just simply use the platform in a slightly different way [by customizing and extending it for that specific trial]. The idea is to cover that whole spectrum in a very powerful and very principled way."
The Suvoda Platform provides multiple approaches to meet different trial requirements:
- Configure right in the user interface to set up the most straightforward needs, like setting participant age parameters
- No-code/low-code tools that allow Suvoda teams to customize common trial requirements, like capturing a new data point, questionnaire design, or defining site workflows
- Full programming capabilities for the most complex requirements through structured extension modules
Accelerating trials while maintaining quality
Time matters in clinical trials – every day saved in study setup or execution means getting potentially life-changing treatments for patients sooner. The Suvoda Platform helps trials move faster while maintaining high standards by:
- Making it easier to update system settings to match mid-trial protocol amendments
- Keeping all trial tools working smoothly together
- Providing built-in tools that speed up common tasks
- Enabling trial teams to reuse components from previous studies, such as questionnaires or clinical trial software standards
Planning for tomorrow while solving today's challenges
Clinical trials grow more sophisticated every year, but the core needs remain the same: patients need a straightforward way to participate in their trial, sites need efficient tools, and sponsors need accurate data. The Suvoda Platform meets these needs by:
- Adapting to new trial requirements without disrupting existing operations
- Maintaining simplicity of use even as capabilities expand
- Bringing predictability and control to unpredictable situations through robust technology
When critical moments arise in clinical trials—and they always do—you need technology that simply works. The Suvoda Platform delivers reliably, helping accelerate the delivery of life-changing treatments while keeping the experience straightforward for everyone involved.
