At Almac Clinical Technologies, our electronic diary solution (iDiary) provides patients with the flexibility to use the phone, the most proven user-friendly technology to gather patient diary data, or the web, a more efficient way of collecting diary data.

With published research results that patient compliance with paper diaries is less than 20%, an easy-to-use solution that can ensure compliance is critical.

iDiary time and date stamps entries, increasing the quality and integrity of data by:

• Identifying data that has not been entered in a timely manner
• Providing alerts to notify investigators of non-compliance.
• iDiary’s web interface enables patients to rapidly input diary data, a key for electronic diaries with high question volume.
• Prompting for data collection at protocol-defined times.
• With IXR, there is no need to buy, deploy and support diary-specific hardware.
• iDiary incorporates standardized Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) scales and Standard Quality of Life (QOL) scales.
• Patient diary data is available essentially real time and does not require waiting for synchronization of a hand-held computer to occur.
• Investigators can receive paper or email confirmation faxes in response to each iDiary transaction or view reports containing all diary data for patients at their site.
• iDiary has been used in numerous regulatory submissions.
