New York, NY, April 20, 2009 --(PR.com)-- For long, the healthcare industry has been plagued with the challenge of finding suitable patients for clinical trials. Currently available solutions are expensive, generic, time consuming and importantly, require both patients and investigators to go through multiple middle channels to discover each other and engage in clinical trials.
Well not anymore. TrialX (http://TrialX.org), with its unique online 'Do it Yourself' model focused on patients and clinical trial investigators, aims to change the dynamics of this industry by enabling patients to find new treatments in an easy and timely manner. TrialX leverages technologies such as Personal Health Records (PHR), social media and computational methods, to empower patients and investigators with the tools to find and connect with each other effortlessly. Using TrialX, a participant can import their PHR information from Microsoft HealthVault, Google Health (TrialX is the only company in this space to be fully integrated with these PHRs) or Indivo, find the most suitable clinical trials based on their health profile and email the trial investigator, all in a matter of a few clicks. On the other hand, an investigator can submit their approved clinical trials on the TrialX website, recruit eligible participants and track the responses.
TrialX has launched a Twitter Application (http://blog.trialx.org/) that allows users to find clinical trials that match their health profile. All you need to do is to send TrialX a tweet or a direct message such as '@TrialX CT find studies for my father, 62 with pancreatic cancer in Raleigh area' or '@Trialx CT 55 yo female with multiple sclerosis', The app will tweet back with a link to a TrialX page containing the matching trials, in less than 2 minutes.
