eCOA Device Strategy
The YPrime advantage – eCOA Devices
eCOA device selection plays a critical role in clinical study success.
When consumer devices are used for patient data collection, ostensibly small things, such as app and OS updates, download activity, and battery life, have a big impact on data integrity, security and the potential for data loss.
YPrime’s eCOA devices have been strategically chosen for performance, security, lifecycle, and supply chain stability. Our devices ensure continuous, high data quality throughout the life of your clinical research – even with long-term use.
eCOA Solutions Powered by Advanced Technology
Choose YPrime devices for:
Control and Security
- YPrime retains full control over the digital data collection environment, including when and how OS updates are deployed.
- Updates are controlled to occur only at specific times, avoiding interference with patient data collection
