Medable Powers University of Connecticut Department of Kinesiology and Hartford Healthcare Virtual Study on Statin-Related Adverse Events
Summary
Statins, such as Lipitor and Crestor are some of the most widely used drugs in the world, due to their effectiveness for reducing cholesterol and resultantly, cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and events. Although statins are widely available, cost-effective drugs, data suggests that over three years, patient compliance may be as low as 50%, due to side effects such as muscle pain. We wanted to digitize the paper questionnaire into a clinical index onto an app, where patients could take their statin medication at home, and rank their pain levels in real-time. Medable was able to help us conceptualize the initial research idea into a patient-friendly app, and we wouldn’t have been able to do this without their guidance,” said Dr. Beth Taylor, lead study investigator and Associate Professor of Kinesiology at the University of Connecticut. Medable is pioneering a new category of life science technologies that replace the stagnant and siloed data of traditional ePRO, eCOA, EDC, and eSource with an intelligent and unified end-to-end (E2E) platform for clinical trial execution.
