DrugDev eConsent (electronic informed consent) technology creates more informed patient, eliminates paperwork, simplifies remote monitoring, and ensures complete transparency for regulatory audits

Sponsors and CROs who cling to outmoded paper consent processes take a tremendous risk:  10-15% of audit findings relate to informed consent.

Draft FDA guidance and patient advocacy groups are driving adoption of eConsent (electronic informed consent) because it makes the consenting process more efficient and effective for staff, sponsors, monitors – and most important, patients. eConsent experts Eric Delente and Susan Brink DrPH will show and tell attendees how this revolutionary technology helps pharma sponsors and CROs:

  • Ensure consistent messaging for all patients
  • Solve common challenges such as multiple languages and version control
  • Improve patient retention through increased comprehension and satisfaction
  • Manage real-time biosample consent
  • Comply with global requirements

It focuses patient attention with features including educational videos, audio narration and easy-to-understand documents and a glossary.
