Interactive Data Review (IDR): A new user interface providing an interactive and intuitive view of clinical trial data across a subject, including automatic data change flags, resulting in increased clarity for adjudicators.

Multi-Record Per Case Adjudication: Review multiple records or data points simultaneously to streamline decision-making and reduce human error.

Real-Time Reporting and Insights: Access real-time reports, ensuring up-to-date adjudication oversight and informed decision-making.

21 CFR Part 11 Compliance: Ensure regulatory compliance with a comprehensive audit trail and built-in validation.

Built-In DICOM Imaging Viewer & Redaction Tools: Facilitate secure and efficient review of medical images and sensitive trial data.

“We recognize the unique challenges sponsors face to meet the adjudication needs of increasingly complex clinical trials,” added McDonald. “AIMS enhances not only the quality of adjudication but also the satisfaction of all stakeholders involved in the trial process.”
