The THREAD Platform is a proprietary solution enabling life science organizations to capture research data from participants data during, in-between, and in lieu of clinic visits. THREAD is a unique and cost-effective Software-as-a-Service solution for customers to configure, launch, and manage a decentralized clinical study. A decentralized clinical study is comparable to a traditional clinical research study but with a virtual approach, the data is collected without the patient needing to visit a clinic for a face-to-face visit with the principal investigator or other study staff. The data is collected directly from participants via a study-specific THREAD mobile application and/or website with a variety of activities included (I.e. ePRO, surveys, eDRO, etc.), external sensors worn by the participant and/or research site team data entry via a THREAD web interface (I.e. telehealth, eDC, etc.).
