FAQ

What are predictive analytics?

Predictive analytics mean the difference between finishing enrollment on time and on budget and delaying a trial because of recruitment problems. Companies that use predictive analytics to power the entire recruitment process finish more trials on time. That’s why predictive analytics form the core of the StudyOptimizer application. Developed by algorithm experts, StudyOptimizer’s dynamic, self-learning predictive analytics enable your study team to input assumptions, create a plan, tweak the plan to keep enrollment on track, and collaborate across global teams.

How are StudyOptimer’s predictive analytics different from other tools with predictive capabilities, such as Microsoft Excel and business intelligence kits?

Static dashboards tend to report what’s already occurred. But they don’t tie the plan into actual performance. StudyOptimizer’s predictive analytics help you get more from these dashboards.

How are StudyOptimizer’s visualizations different from Excel’s graphs?

You may be relying on clinical study software applications and other tools to help you view past results and create a plan. For example, if you need to enroll 150 patients by February 8th, how many patients do you need to enroll by January 8th to achieve your enrollment goals? Current solutions weren’t designed with this end in mind.

StudyOptimizer enables you to predict and forecast in near-real-time, across the enterprise. With StudyOptimizer, you see what lies ahead.

How does StudyOptimizer let you see what lies ahead?

You make better plans to start with. Plans you can execute with confidence. The application tests and validates the assumptions driving the plan—before you put that plan into action.

How does StudyOptimizer enable me to execute plans more effectively?

Predictive analytics provide near real-time insight into information that enables a study team to take action when it matters most. Your study team sees forecasts and predicts the right changes to bring recruitment back on track. They can also visualize the impact of not acting.

Why does StudyOptimizer focus so much on the recruitment phase?

Every clinical trial begins with recruitment. When enrollment goes smoothly, your product gets to market faster. Whether you’re a study manager, site manager, or clinical operations executive, you begin enrollment with this end in mind.
