MUMBAI, India, Sept. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

   - Partnership to help decentralize clinical trials resulting in better and

faster outcomes

   Larsen & Toubro Infotech [https://www.lntinfotech.com/] (BSE: 540005) (NSE:

LTI), a global technology consulting and digital solutions company has entered

in a strategic partnership with eClinicalHealth Limited to accelerate digital

innovation in R&D Clinical Trials Management process for patient-centric drug

development. The partnership will help clients decentralize clinical trials

setting new benchmarks of excellence in clinical research space.

    The significance of the tie-up is based on the fact that 86 percent of

clinical studies are delayed* due to challenges in patient engagement – mainly

involving recruitment and retaining patients, which is a time consuming and

expensive process. The pandemic has further aggravated this challenge. It is in

this context that eClinicalHealth, which is focused on developing innovative

clinical trial solutions, launched cloud-based patient-centric SaaS solution,

Clinpal – which improves patient engagement for each clinical trial journey.  

   As part of this strategic partnership, LTI with its digital, technical and

life sciences domain capabilities, will help accelerate joint go-to-market

pursuits and faster deployment for Clinpal Adopters. The solution will make use

of exponential technologies such as analytics and AI to enhance patient

engagement and faster clinical studies.

   Archana Ramanakumar, EVP & Global Delivery Head – Life Sciences, Media,

Consumer & Technology, LTI commented: "At LTI, we are on a journey to drive

digital transformation for various aspects of clinical trials. Our endeavour

with eClinicalHealth partnership is to accelerate and streamline the enablement

of Decentralized Trials, to reduce patient burden and drive acceleration of

clinical trials. With this partnership we aim to accelerate the development and

deployment of eClinicalHealth's ClinPal platform in clinical trials for the

industry."

   Karl Landert, Chairman of the Board and CEO at eClinicalHealth said: "The

new normal world has put into limelight the benefits of a telemedicine

ecosystem for larger benefit of end-users. Clinical trials assume an important

function in development and improvement of treatment methods in order to

enhance patient's wellbeing, and De-Centralized Trials (DCT) have attained

highest order of patient preference. With our strategic partnership with LTI,

our aim is to further scale and simplify patient engagement."
