The Challenge

Clinical Communication Is the Invisible Bottleneck

Home-based CRAs with risk-based monitoring manage 10-14 PMCF sites across multiple countries. They coordinate daily with 7 stakeholder groups — sites, sponsor teams, safety, data management, central monitors, ethics committees, and line management — across 8+ separate systems. 96% of trials now use RBM, but it shifted the burden from sites to screens, not away.

~65%

Of the day is not monitoring

Communication, meetings, training, admin

~30%

On communication alone

Emails, follow-ups, action items, calls

~30%

🎯

Smart Classification

9 communication categories with AI-assisted scoring. Confidence levels and reasoning shown for every classification per EU AI Act.

✏️

Response Drafting

Top 3 pre-approved text blocks suggested by category, study phase, and language. Placeholders auto-filled from site data.

⚠️

Safety Deadline Tracking

EU MDR Article 87 visual countdowns — 2, 10, 15 day deadlines. Impossible to overlook, color-coded by urgency.

Compliance & Validation

Built for Regulated Environments

🇪🇺

EU Regulatory Framework

  • EU MDR 2017/745 — Article 87 safety reporting with 2/10/15-day deadline tracking, PMCF communication management
  • EU AI Act — Rule-based classifier (not ML), full transparency, human-in-the-loop for safety categories
  • GDPR — Data residency, pseudonymization support
  • ICH GCP E6(R3) — Electronic essential records, validated system

🇺🇸

FDA Regulatory Framework

  • 21 CFR Part 11 — Append-only audit trails, e-signatures with meaning/re-authentication/manifestation
  • FDA GMLP — Transparent, human-in-the-loop AI with documented reasoning
  • HIPAA-ready — No patient data stored, communication metadata only
  • FDA QMSR (ISO 13485) — Aligned quality management approach

✔️

GAMP 5 Category 5 Validated

Full validation suite — URS, FS, DS, IQ, Risk Assessment (FMEA), Traceability Matrix, SOP. 368 automated tests. Aligned with FDA Computer Software Assurance (2025).

🔒

Hash-Chained Audit Trail
