TCS Launches New ADD Site Feasibility Platform for Data-driven Clinical Site Selection
Tata Consultancy Services’ Latest Addition to the TCS ADD Suite Digitizes the Site Selection Process and Enables Data-driven Decisions, Driving Superior Clinical Outcomes for Life Sciences Companies.
- (1888PressRelease) October 23, 2019 - MUMBAI - Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS) a leading global IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, has launched the ADD Site Feasibility Platform, which provides life sciences companies with a single, integrated platform that digitizes the site selection and activation processes, and facilitates data-driven decision-making while assessing site feasibility for multi-site clinical trials.
In the planning of a clinical study, selection of the right sites for the clinical trials, with the right patient population, investigator profiles, treatment facilities and other parameters, has a huge impact on the study outcomes. Yet, this critical activity was still done manually, resulting in sub-optimal site choices that can result in significant delays and costs. TCS’ Site Feasibility Platform, the latest addition to the Advanced Drug Development (ADD) suite of cloud-based clinical platforms, addresses this critical problem currently faced by life sciences companies, by leveraging the power of digital technologies to drive superior clinical outcomes.
The new platform consolidates data currently residing on multiple systems within the enterprise into a central knowledge repository from which it derives insights that can be used to identify the sites best suited for a given study protocol, with the most appropriate patient population and investigators. It digitizes and automates the entire assessment and selection process, enabling the efficient and coordinated management of hundreds of concurrent clinical trial feasibility studies. Moreover, the platform is fully integrated with the TCS Connected Clinical Trials e-Survey Platform, providing customers with an end-to-end solution for conducting site surveys and analyzing the survey responses.
A leading life sciences company is the first customer to go live with the TCS ADD Site Feasibility Platform. The flexible design enabled rapid implementation within 10 months.
“We are leveraging our deep knowledge of the life sciences industry to continually expand the capabilities of the TCS ADD suite of cloud platforms. The Site Feasibility platform will help our customers digitally transform the most critical study design aspects of their clinical trials and drive superior outcomes,” said Debashis Ghosh, President, Life Sciences and Healthcare, TCS.
