Abstract

A system and a method for managing one or more clinical protocols across multiple locations, including identify a clinical research location; capture a plurality of types of content from the administrator mobile device; analyze the captured content to determine one or more associated clinical protocols for the clinical research location; automatically select a workflow algorithm for each determined clinical protocol, the workflow algorithm configured to obtain stage based information and workflow items from the data store; and enable a mobile control interface for each determined clinical protocol, wherein the mobile control interface comprises monitoring of the stage based information and management of the workflow items associated with the clinical research location.

Claims (37)

1. A system for managing one or more clinical protocols across multiple locations, comprising:

a processor;

a data store configured to store workflow items with information for clinical trials employing the one or more clinical protocols; and

a memory communicatively coupled with the processor, the memory configured to store instructions, the instructions configured to cause the processor to:

determine a geo-fence around a first geographic location, wherein the first geographic location is a clinical research location;

receive, from a mobile device, a second geographic location of the mobile device;

determine that the mobile device is associated with a clinical trial based at least in part on the first geographic location and the second geographic location;

determine a plurality of clinical protocol activities associated with the clinical trial and the mobile device;

determine that the second geographic location of the mobile device satisfies a first clinical protocol activity of the plurality of clinical protocol activities associated with the clinical trial;

capture a second type of content from the mobile device, wherein the second type of content is associated with a second clinical protocol activity of the plurality of clinical protocol activities;

determine an additional workflow step for the second clinical protocol activity of the plurality of clinical protocol activities; and

enable a mobile control interface to display the additional workflow step for the second clinical protocol activity of the plurality of clinical protocol activities, wherein the mobile control interface is located at the first geographic location of the clinical research location.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile control interface comprises contextual messaging of devices associated with each of the clinical protocols, wherein devices associated with each of the clinical protocols comprise at least one of participant devices, practitioner devices, or facility based systems.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the contextual messaging is based on the participant devices or the practitioner devices detected within a radius of the clinical research location.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the additional workflow step comprising at least one of acknowledgement, modification, signature, or assignment.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein information for the additional workflow step is sent via a contextual message, using the mobile control interface, to one or more devices associated with the clinical protocols.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile control interface further comprises tracking of protocol activities for participants associated with the clinical research location for each clinical protocol.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile control interface further comprises analytics for each clinical protocol across multiple clinical research locations.

8. A method, comprising:

determining a geo-fence around a first geographic location, wherein the first geographic location is a clinical research location;

receiving, from a mobile device, a second geographic location of the mobile device;

determining that the mobile device is associated with a clinical trial;

determining a plurality of clinical protocol activities associated with the clinical trial and the mobile device;

determining that the second geographic location of the mobile device satisfies a first clinical protocol activity of the plurality of clinical protocol activities associated with the clinical trial;

capturing a second type of content from the mobile device, wherein the second type of content is associated with a second clinical protocol activity of the plurality of clinical protocol activities;

determine an additional workflow step for the second clinical protocol activity of the plurality of clinical protocol activities; and

enabling a mobile control interface to display the additional workflow step for the second clinical protocol activity of the plurality of clinical protocol activities, wherein the mobile control interface is located at the first geographic location of the clinical research location.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the mobile control interface comprises contextual messaging of devices associated with each of the clinical protocols, wherein devices associated with each of the clinical protocols comprise at least one of participant devices, practitioner devices, or facility based systems.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the contextual messaging is based on the participant devices or the practitioner devices detected within a radius of the clinical research location.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the additional workflow step comprising at least one of acknowledgement, modification, signature, or assignment.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein information for the additional workflow step is sent via a contextual message, using the mobile control interface, to one or more devices associated with the clinical protocols.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the mobile control interface further comprises tracking of protocol activities for participants associated with the clinical research location for each clinical protocol.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the mobile control interface further comprises analytics for each clinical protocol across multiple clinical research locations.

15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the additional workflow step is determined based at least in part on the second geographic location of the mobile device.

16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second type of content from the mobile device comprises a time duration that the mobile device is visiting the clinical research location.

17. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

enable a platform module to display information associated with the clinical research location at the mobile device.
