The roles of trust, security and privacy in clinical trials
Trust, security and privacy is a cornerstone in clinical trials pri·va·cy/ˈprīvəsē/ The state or condition of being free from being observed or disturbed by other people. The state of being free from public attention. When it comes to clinical data there have always been two circles of trust — the trust relationship with the PI and […]
High-performance clinical teams speak softly
The advantages of speaking softly I started thinking about the constraints on eClinical technology for decentralized clinical trials and patient-centric product development. The best planned patient-centric trial will not succeed if the data quality is poor at the sites. When a CRA on the team is disgruntled, it is infectious. Speed and efficiency in your […]
How to get digital health apps to work together – the power of simplicity
Sunrise off the coast of the Dead Sea in Israel We are using too many buzzwords to defeat SARS-COV-2 I thought about buzz-words last night. My wife is now a compulsive news watcher. Personally — TV news and papers bother me from getting productive work done at our clinical data startup flaskdata.io — accelerating clinical trials for […]
How to swim in the cold water of decentralized clinical trials
(The water in the pool in Cascais in October was < 12 degrees) There are over 135 COVID-19 vaccine candidates in the pipeline at the time of writing this post – June 20, 2020. Although there are always personal, political and emotional preferences, we should probably not select a clinical data management platform like we […]
Hack back the user interface for clinical trials
As part of my campaign for site-coordinator and study-monitor centric clinical trials; we first need to understand how to exploit a vulnerability in human psychology. As a security analyst, this is the way I look at things – exploits of vulnerabilities. In 2007, B.J. Fogg, founder and director of the Stanford Behavior Design Lab taught a […]
A better tomorrow for clinical trials
A better tomorrow – Times of crisis usher in new mindsets By David Laxer. Spoken from the heart. In these trying days, as we adjust to new routines and discover new things about ourselves daily, we are also reminded that the human spirit is stronger than any pandemic and we have survived worse. And because we […]
I love being a CRA, but the role as it exists today is obsolete.
I think that COVID-19 will be the death knell for on-site monitoring visits and SDV. Predictions for 2020 and the next generation of clinical research – mobile EDC for sites, patients and device integration that just works. I’m neither a clinical quality nor a management consultant. I cannot tell a CRO not to bill […]
Using automated detection and response technology mitigate the next Corona pandemic
What happens the day after? What happens next winter? Sure – we must find effective treatment and vaccines. Sure – we need to reduce or eliminate the need for on-site monitoring visits to hospitals in clinical trials. And sure – we need to enable patient monitoring at home. But let’s not be distracted from 3 […]

One of the great things about working with Israeli medical device vendors is the level of innovation, drive and abundance of smart people. It’s why we get up in the morning. […]
Temperature excursions and APIs to reduce study monitor work
I did a lot of local excursions the past 3 days – Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Herzliya and Haifa. For some reason, the conversations with 2 prospects had to do with refrigerators. I do not know if this is Freudian or not, considering the hot weather of July in Israel. The conversations about refrigerators had to […]
