Why ClinicalSMS?
We offer tailor made text messaging services to assist with the smooth running of clinical trials. Notoriously, one of the problems associated with running clinical trials is contacting subjects and collecting data remotely on a regular basis. Our systems will allow you to contact your subjects when you want to, and if necessary receive a time and date stamped response. These solutions are not only cost effective, but enhance subject response rates and validity of data, by utilizing a familiar and accessible form of everyday technology.
According to the Ofcom UK Communications Market Review 2008, more adults in the UK use text messaging than use the internet: 59 billion SMS messages were sent in 2007, an average of 68 a month sent from each mobile connection (up 28% on 2006).[1]
