Study Monitors have a lot on their plates. While VISION’s automated data cleaning capabilities make their jobs easier, we thought it be useful to provide them with a tool that would automatically flag database fields that are more “challenging” for sites to complete. Our new AI Monitoring Enhancement Engine (AIMEE) does just that. When monitors are reviewing a form, they can turn AIMEE on with a single click of the mouse and instantly focus on database fields that are historically known to require attention.
A single click of an icon turns on AIMEE.

AIMEE calculates a score for each field and highlights those that require attention.

How does it work? AIMEE learns over time and calculates a risk score for each field on the form, and highlights those that merit further scrutiny. What is this score based on? AIMEE looks across all instances of the form in the study and considers the number of changes, queries, comments, and occurrences of errors and warnings for each field on the form. It uses that information to generate a score, which is intuitively displayed next to each field on the eCRF. Low scores are “good” and high scores are “concerning”.
AIMEE works well in conjunction with VISION’s field-by-field review functionality – which monitors can use to indicate which fields they have already investigated. This in turn lowers monitor workload by helping them avoid duplicate efforts.

Of all the effective methods used to ensure subjects complete a clinical trial, our favorite is probably the ePRO mobile application. This ingenious app reduces the need for in-person visits to clinics. And who doesn’t love playing with new apps on their phone?
Both human subjects and owners of animal subjects can download this app (on either iOS or Android devices) and use it to fill in surveys and forms from anywhere. All entered data gets uploaded straight to the VISION database with a fully attributable audit trail. That means wherever your patients have cell service, they can intuitively perform contemporaneous data entry. The ePRO app offers a huge advantage over having to wait for a visit or telephone call with the clinic in order to relay daily or weekly observations. Now subjects and owners can don’t even have to get dressed or get in their cars to participate in a clinical trial anymore. Finally, a data management solution for the Netflix and Chill generation!
The ePRO app reduces the loss of subjects who do not want to risk their health by coming into the clinic for a checkup. It gives them the opportunity to enter their data into the system before they forget. Sites can even set up notifications for the users to ensure they enter their information within the expected timeline. This in turn ensures data integrity and reduces site follow-up requirements.
Data can be entered remotely using radios, check boxes, dates, times, text boxes, drop-down menus, and visual analogue scales. Images and videos can be recorded and uploaded for uses such as wound healing checks. All this flexibility and ease-of-use makes subjects significantly more inclined to continue their clinical trial participation. It will also continue to be useful into the future for subjects who would normally have a long commute to get to their required clinic.

Prelude Dynamics, LLC, has released some exciting new enhancements to the VISION™ Reports tool. This function of their Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system allows users to view data according to the criteria of their choosing at any point in the study. Reports can be saved, shared with other users, and added to each user’s Dashboard for convenience.
Users can now…
- Easily specify report content using a drag and drop interface.
- Include data from forms in multiple visit days (e.g., Physical Exams across all visits)
- Sort results by any column’s ascending or descending order by clicking on the column header
- Filter fields by typing into a field at the top of each column
- Download any report into Excel with a new and improved interface
The Reports feature of VISION™ has always been a useful data management solution, and is one of many ways to ensure data ingegrity. All clinical staff have the ability to create sets of reports that help them focus in on important data such as clinical end points. The ability to export these reports is a valuable tool for bio-statisticians and project managers alike. Now, clinical trial conduct and management have gotten even easier with Prelude’s addition of a convenient, new user interface.
Prelude constantly strives to assist the health industry in their pursuit to bring innovative pharmaceuticals to consumers. Stay tuned for even more updates from Prelude as we make it easier than ever to conduct a successful clinical trial.

Prelude Dynamics, LLC, is proud to announce our partnership with Johns Hopkins on three COVID-19 related studies. This new partnership expands on previous collaborations between Prelude and Johns Hopkins in the areas of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), multiple sclerosis, and vertigo. Prelude Dynamics’ VISION™ EDC was selected from a field of EDC providers based on advanced system capabilities, our ability to stand up studies in days, and Prelude’s high level of service.
Study 1: Plasma Donor Registry
The first study Prelude and Hopkins are collaborating on is a registry of individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 and are candidates for plasma collection. Once donors are qualified, their Human Coronavirus Immune Plasma (HCIP) can be used in the second and third studies. These follow-up studies are both Phase 2 and will be randomized and double-blinded.
Study 2: Convalescent Plasma as a Preventative Treatment
The second study will investigate the use of convalescent plasma in high risk subjects who have experienced a close contact exposure to a person with COVID-19 but are not yet symptomatic. With an enrollment goal of 150 subjects, the project will study the efficacy and safety of using HCIP as a preventative treatment.
Study 3: Convalescent Plasma to Reduce Complications
The third study will investigate the use of HCIP as a therapy for ambulatory subjects who have tested positive for COVID-19 through an RNA detection test and have at least one symptom. With an enrollment goal of 1,344 subjects, this project will study the efficacy and safety of using HCIP to reduce complications due to COVID-19. In addition to saving lifes, a positive outcome for this trial will mean HCIP has the potential to greatly reduce hospitalization and ICU requirements for COVID-19 patients.
The randomized studies will use VISION™‘s integrated Just-in-Time randomization algorithm as well as our sophisticated masking and source data verification (SDV) functionality . Both studies will be conducted in the US from April 2020 through December 2022. We are excited that Johns Hopkins has chosen our VISION™ EDC for this potentially life-saving work and look forward to successful outcomes!

Streamline data-capture by using Vision’s built-in documents manager. You can keep all of your data and communications in one, easy-to-navigate place. Not only will assigned users have instant access to communications and updates, but you will be able to track who has viewed or edited what. No more unresponsive team members claiming, “No, I didn’t see that last update!” when really, they just forgot to respond to it (you know who you are).
Simply navigate to the applicable patient or site where you intend to upload a file or attach a note. Typically, the last or second-to-last form under each patient and site is labelled Notes/Comments/Errors or Comments/Errors. Under this file group will be a notes form. This can be used to append documents like medical histories or previous labs results to a specific patient or signed forms to a specific site. Team members can also add short comments as necessary throughout the study. Prelude offers this form group as part of every contract, but it can also be customized to suit your unique study’s needs.
There is also a form where users can upload transcribed CRF’s, making it easier than ever for sites to keep a thorough record of all essential documentation for their subjects. This basic form includes a place to record the date and time uploaded, the name of the electronic version of the form where the data was transcribed, as well as a link to that form within the system, the reason for transcription, and checkbox where the monitor can indicate that they reviewed the transcription. But don’t forget: this form can be customized to include any extra details your study requires.
Ask your Prelude Project Manager about even more ways to tailor your study’s forms to meet all your document management needs!
