The combination of PWC clinical trial expertise with the mTuitive expert decision support toolset will provide immediate efficiencies to the clinical trial process," said John Murphy, President.

The relationship further validates mTuitive's business model where subject matter experts can utilize existing knowledge sources and established practices to populate mTuitive's technology framework to rapidly generate expert data capture, procedural compliance and decision support products.

"The mTuitive product suite provides a unique and intriguing solution to many of the challenges we face in accelerating the clinical trial process. The rapid application tool will significantly reduce the amount of time spent in design and development of data entry forms.
