Launched SmartPRO®, a Data Collection Service that Improves the Accuracy of Clinical Trial Evaluations

SmartPRO® (hereinafter "the Service"), which increases the accuracy of clinical trial evaluations conducted by pharmaceutical companies and research institutions, was launched on May 20, 2022.

This service is an ePRO*2 that digitizes subjective evaluations (hereinafter "PRO"*1) obtained directly from subjects and patients, and allows subjects and patients to relay their condition, such as "pain" or "feeling ill," from their own smartphones. Pharmaceutical companies and research institutions can view and download patient and subject PROs on the Service. In addition, a logbook function that allows subjects and patients to record all health-related data after the clinical trial as well will be provided as part of the Service by the end of FY2022. We will also consider new healthcare services that contribute to improving subjects' and patients' quality of life by safely and securely utilizing the data collected by the Service.

Through the Service, we will strive to achieve Smart Healthcare that uses digital technology to contribute to the development of healthcare.
