Oracle launches cloud-based mHealth clinical trial data collection system

Multinational computer tech company Oracle today announced the launch of its Oracle Health Sciences mHealth connector cloud service designed to aid clinical study teams in remotely collecting data from patient sensors, wearable and apps for use in clinical trials.

The newly launched system is designed to improve the ease of collecting data from a number of clinical systems and sources, Oracle said. The system will also allow for the collection of patient data in respect to adherence to study protocols and improved remote patient monitoring, the company said.

Oracle said it has created the mHealth Connector cloud service to support a number of integration approaches, and that it is exploring more integration approaches with a number of mobile health companies.

“We are thrilled to announce our new mHealth Connector cloud service as it holds great promise in speeding clinical trials and bringing more drugs to market faster. Being able to take what used to be patient-recorded data and outcomes via paper forms and site visits can now be done via mobile health sensors and wearables that have the potential to shorten trial times and reduce costs, while allowing sick patients to remain in the comfort of their homes versus traveling to and from trial sites. To improve patient enrollment in clinical trials, study teams must put the patient at the center of everything they do, and emerging technologies such as wearables and sensors hold the key,” Oracle Health Sciences GM Steve Rosenberg said in a press release.
