Over 70% of global clinical trials now integrate digital endpoints. To ensure accuracy, compliance, and scalability, researchers are moving away from legacy tools and adopting STK smart devices purpose-built for clinical research. Designed for eCOA and ePRO applications, these devices deliver reliability, security, and global deployment support that traditional consumer smartphones cannot match.
Why Smart Devices Are Critical in Clinical Trials
1. Improved Data Accuracy
STK devices, such as the X3 eCOA smartphone, are engineered for regulated environments. They minimise human error through standardised interfaces and ensure that patient-reported outcomes are captured with precision.
2. Enhanced Patient Engagement
Clinical participants are more likely to stay engaged when devices are user-friendly and reliable. STK devices provide intuitive interfaces and long battery life, reducing dropout rates in long-term trials.
3. Security and Compliance First
With built-in HIPAA and GDPR compliance features, STK devices safeguard sensitive patient data. Advanced encryption, restricted app use, and secure remote management protect against breaches.
4. Scalable Global Deployment
Whether in North America, Europe, or Asia-Pacific, STK ensures seamless deployment with pre-certified devices. From Titan 5 rugged devices to Tough Tab tablets, solutions are tailored for diverse trial needs.
5. AI-Ready Infrastructure
As clinical trials embrace AI-driven data analysis, STK devices are optimised for real-time data capture. This ensures compatibility with emerging AI tools for predictive modelling and patient behaviour insights.
