Medidata announced the launch of Medidata Detect, a centralized statistical monitoring solution that improves data quality and promotes patient safety in clinical trials for new medicines, vaccines and medical devices. Medidata Detect, part of Medidata’s regulatory-compliant and unified MedidataRave Clinical Cloud platform, helps customers manage data quality, monitor site performance and promote patient safety by uncovering and finding errors, trends and anomalies in data through statistical algorithms and tests. Medidata Detect identifies known and unknown risks, and triggers corrective actions, which proactively minimize study delays and submission failures in trials. A foundational step in adopting a RBQM (risk-based quality management) approach to clinical development, Medidata Detect is able to define and manage study risks, expose unanticipated data anomalies and cut down on programmers’ time and effort through proprietary machine learning algorithms that require no customer programming.
