DURHAM, NC and LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / September 22, 2021 / PHASTAR, a global specialist biometrics contract research organization (CRO) offering industry leading data management, data science, statistical consulting and clinical trial reporting services, was announced as a joint winner of the 2021 Innovation in the Management of Clinical Data Award by the Association for Clinical Data Management (ACDM).
The award was in recognition of the work done by PHASTAR data scientists and data managers to develop a novel AI and rule-based approach for the production of auto-generated queries used to identify potential data issues and inconsistencies in clinical trial data. The PHASTAR team integrated the role of the human expert with intelligent process automation through a targeted approach. They are able to discover hotspots of data quality issues on studies through the application of AI (NLP) approaches to the meta data, identifying problematic forms and variables and are now building labelled data sets to which machine learning methods may be applied.
"It is truly a honor to be recognized by our industry peers for the outstanding contributions PHASTAR data science and data management teams have made to assure more accurate outcomes in clinical trials," said Andrew MacGarvey, Chief Executive Officer, PHASTAR. "Data quality is an important pillar in the successful collection of clinical data. By creating innovative approaches, the application of advanced technologies like AI and Machine Learning will continue to impact the success of drug discovery and development."
