Acumen Healthcare Solutions and Agiliti Partner to Deliver a Cost Effective Electronic Clinical Trial Solution to the Heavily Regulated Clinical Trial Industry.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – August 4, 2003 – Acumen Healthcare Solutions, LLC, a provider of Electronic Clinical Trial Services including Electronic Data Capture (EDC) and Clinical Data Management (CDM) solutions, based on TracIt2k, today announced that the company has partnered with Agiliti, Inc., a provider of world-class hosting and IT services.  By providing a robust, centralized IT infrastructure, Agiliti enables Acumen to provide customers with an affordable, scalable and secure eClinical Trial solution with the guaranteed service levels they demand.

 

“Partnering with Agiliti has enabled us to take advantage of a proven model and offer software-as-a-service,” said William Kobi, President/CEO of Acumen.  “We are offering this new model specifically to help medical device and biomedical companies dramatically lower the clinical trial costs traditionally associated with

paper-based trials and speed their time to market.”  

 

Acumen’s new service is intended to improve the expediency, analysis and reporting of critical clinical data required by their customers to make timely and informed decisions regarding the safety of their participants and efficacy of their products.  TracIt2k allows for immediate data capture and verification and moves away from manual clinical data entry that is time consuming for the clinical investigators and study coordinators. 

 

“As time and resources can often be the commodity in shortest supply for a company like 3F Therapeutics, the choice to move forward with a state-of-the-art data capture solution as we expand our trials throughout Europe and the United States, was a logical one, not to mention the huge cost savings over the resource intensive paper trial process,” said R.C. Quijano MD. PhD, 3F Therapeutics Chief Technical Officer.

 

“Our relationships with our customers have demonstrated to us that the challenges in the field are the same for most companies. The key is to enable all customers, regardless of size, to operate at the same quality levels and experience the same cost benefits.  Agiliti has been instrumental in assisting Acumen reach this goal,” concluded Mr. Kobi.
