Take Clinical Trial Management to the Next Level with LYNK

As a technology provider that connects central trial operations teams with decentralized site staff and clinicians, our goal at Devana Solutions is to help research organizations speed new therapies to patients by automating clinical trial processes and capturing site metrics for analysis and execution.

You may be familiar with PROPEL, our enterprise-level platform for managing an expansive research organization consisting of owned or affiliated investigative sites or study teams. By leveraging the cloud to connect central research operations professionals with site-based clinicians and staff for real-time, clinical trial collaboration, it provides easy access to all of the information on trials, sites, users, and contacts at your organizational level. Organizations such as Velocity Clinical Research use PROPEL to create cohesive operations and improve efficiency within their organization and accelerate study startup.

What you may not be familiar with, however, is LYNK—the site-facing extension of the PROPEL platform that expands the capabilities to key site-level staff. LYNK takes PROPEL one step further, giving sites even more ways to streamline processes and increase efficiency. LYNK is the sites’ personalized interface that allows them to receive and respond to trial opportunities and quickly and easily complete feasibility assessments.

Manage Clinical Trial Opportunities

The LYNK interface will automatically notify the sites when a new clinical trial opportunity is sent by the central team. The site LYNK user can review the specifics of each trial, determine which investigator is best for the project, and instantly provide information that is necessary to complete the feasibility assessment. LYNK’s investigator profiles store all vital documents for the sites’ investigators, such as medical licenses, CVs, and training certificates. With LYNK, sites won’t need to sift through emails, document folders, or physical files, because all of this necessary information is located in one place.

Simplify Feasibility Questionnaires

Thanks to LYNK, the cumbersome feasibility process is simplified. Available in the LYNK dashboard, sites can view any outstanding feasibility questionnaires, which will auto populate with the previously answered, common information that is also found in their site’s profile, including contact information, on-site equipment and staff, and specific areas of therapeutic experience. Because LYNK stores all of the necessary data in site profiles, sites won’t need to search for the information in documents and spreadsheets—it’s available instantly.

These are just a couple of ways LYNK works seamlessly in conjunction with PROPEL, providing benefits not only to the greater research organization but to the sites, as well.

Clinical Trial Tech Stack: Seamless Connectivity For Your Team

Clinical trials have evolved in recent years. There are now more decentralized clinical trials than ever before, thanks to the adoption of cutting-edge technologies. However, in order for these trials to be successful from the beginning, it is essential to select the right tech stack. This can be daunting, but don’t worry; the team at Devana Solutions, a clinical trial software platform, is here to help! Here are the key considerations when selecting your clinical trial technology.

During the pandemic, the industry accelerated its growing adoption of decentralized clinical trials (DCTs). This allowed sites to expand their reach and diversify their patient selection. This approach offers several advantages over traditional clinical trials, including:

  • Improved patient access to cutting-edge therapies;
  • Increased efficiency and cost savings due to the elimination of centralization costs (such as those associated with data management and monitoring); and,
  • Enhanced study feasibility due to the use of innovative technologies.

For thriving enterprises in the clinical trial space, developing the software needed to process their needs could be cumbersome. Considering that there are multiple steps and phases, from the business development through patient trials, it can be a daunting task sorting through the different frameworks, languages, and integrations to deliver an optimal experience for your clinical trial organization.

Fortunately for your organization, Devana Solutions has developed the right solution with its IGNITE and PROPEL systems. Adding in LYNK as a communication and data exchange conduit can also keep your teams synchronized when using PROPEL.

Like any comprehensive tech stack, here are some of the key benefits of Devana Solutions.

  • User interface
  • Data storage and security
  • Application integrations
  • Monitoring and performance tools.

Let’s take a closer look at each of these considerations.

User interface

When selecting clinical trial management software, it is important to ensure that the user interface is easy to use and intuitive. In addition, a good user interface can help improve the exchange of information and data between the central teams and remote sites. It can take time to adapt to new technology.

Data storage and security

As teams exchange and use information, cloud-based applications are the easiest to use and store critical data. Throughout the clinical trials, it is essential to ensure that data is stored and accessed securely. This means using an encrypted database that can be accessed only by authorized users. It is also important to have a backup plan in case of system failure.

Application integrations

The best software allows for integrations to enhance the user experience. Devana Solutions integrates with many platforms, including Real-Time CTMS and Clinical Research IO (CRIO) Devana Solutions client-partners also have the benefit of connectivity with communication and interactive data visualization platforms like Microsoft Outlook, MailChimp, and Tableau. Other client-partners benefit from working with Devana Solutions because of the custom integrations made by our technology team.

Monitoring and performance tools

In order to ensure the success of your clinical trial operations, it is important to have tools in place for monitoring and performance tracking. This includes both real-time and retrospective monitoring of data, as well as dashboards that provide an overview of study progress.

Now that you know what to consider when selecting a tech stack for your clinical trial management software, let’s take a closer look at Devana Solutions.
