Powered by AI
By harnessing intelligent automation, we can reduce delivery timelines by up to 50%, enabling an accelerated study start up to quickly capture novel endpoints.
A top 10 pharmaceutical company approached Medable seeking support for their Phase III diabetes study in the highly competitive weight loss market. Their primary goal was to reduce the client’s average study build timelines from 16-20 weeks, down to just 8 weeks, a reduction of more than 50%.See how Medable was able to meet the customer's goal with this case study.
eCOA+ Streamlined Evidence Generation
Frequently asked questions
eCOA stands for electronic clinical outcome assessment and uses electronic devices like tablets, desktop computers, and phones to collect data from trial participants. Participants complete diaries, questionnaires, or other prompts to communicate how they are feeling or functioning during the course of a clinical trial. eCOAs are part of the decentralized clinical trial (DCT) methodology and are essential to understanding whether a drug is reducing symptoms and improving patients’ quality of life.
Medable’s eCOA offering is part of our broader evidence generation offering: Patient-First Data Collection. Medable’s tools allow teams to build eCOA instruments (both validated instruments and eDiaries) that meet industry standards. Data collected from this system can be used for primary endpoints in pivotal studies. Study teams can store instruments, including translations, in a library for rapid deployment in future studies. Dashboards keep teams informed of all startup activities along the way. Teams may also access their library of prebuilt, validated instruments to improve study startup.
Yes. Medable's platform is multimodal, meaning patients can access our interface through the Patient app or a web browser. A BYOD model allows patients to use their own smartphone or other device for data capture during a site visit or remotely. Participants using devices they are already familiar with may lead to better compliance and ultimately, a better clinical trial experience. However, since some participants may be hesitant to download an app on their own device, or may not own a device that meets the requirements, it’s important to anticipate a percentage of provisioned devices, even in trials adopting a BYOD strategy.

Drive scale with total control: Medable's new CRO partner program
What does it mean to do the heavy lifting?
In clinical research, it means assisting with research and development of new drugs alongside pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, helping them complete the routine work that turns the gears to make new medicines.
Within pharma, contract research organizations (CROs) are indispensable partners in the advancement of clinical research who manage the complexities of clinical trials from protocol design to regulatory closeout, handling tasks like trial design, patient recruitment, data management, and regulatory submissions.
As a result, CROs have become indispensable partners in the advancement of clinical research who significantly contribute to our industry’s development of groundbreaking treatments, and human health.
However, the weights and the lifting methods have been changing. As Boston Consulting Group noted in their 2024 Nature article, clinical trials are becoming more complex. As a result, CROs face increasing pressure to deliver more with less.
Recognizing their importance in our mission and vision, Medable is excited to announce the launch of our comprehensive CRO partner program, designed to be a game-changing engine for growth and control in the clinical research industry.
Accelerating oncology research: Digital strategies for modern clinical trials
Oncology research has been on a 20-year rise and is showing no signs of slowing down anytime in the future. Consider this, between 2000 and 2021, the amount of drugs targeting cancer quadrupled. In 2023, a separate research report found that over 2,000 new oncology clinical trials were launched just that year, and that global spending on cancer medicines “is projected to reach $409 billion by 2028.” Finally, as of May 2025, a search of ClinicalTrials.gov yielded over 39,500 studies indexed under terms including “neoplasm,” “cancer,” and “tumor,” encompassing diverse phases and global locations.
Case study: Medable reduces trial build from weeks to days
A top global clinical research organization (CRO) partnered with Medable to transform its approach to clinical trial building. Recognizing the inefficiencies in traditional build processes that often “take weeks,” the client leveraged Medable’s Studio platform with its latest AI capabilities to dramatically accelerate timelines, enhance transparency, and improve quality.
