The company said that in conjunction with its Health Sciences Cloud Apps, Health Sciences Cloud will help health sciences organisations accelerate IT deployments, reduce resources required to maintain IT infrastructure and gain a predictable IT spending pattern.
In addition, the HIPAA certified cloud provides full qualification and validation testing for each instance of the deployed app and is compliant with US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) 21 CFR Part 11.
The Health Sciences offering is currently available as a service on the Health Sciences Cloud include electronic data capture, electronic patient reported outcomes, study design, coding and dictionary management, trial randomisation and drug supply management, research clinic automation, and safety management.
