Clinovo Speaks on Standards Implementation Strategies for Medical Devices at CDISC Interchange Europe 2014
Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) April 09, 2014 -- President & CEO of Clinovo, Ale Gicqueau, was selected to present at the CDISC Interchange Europe 2014. The internationally renowned conference held in Paris, France on the 7-11th April 2014, is the premier venue for clinical trial experts dedicated to implementing and spreading the use of FDA-recommended CDISC standards.
His presentation will focus on five strategies suited for medical device companies to effectively adopt CDISC Standards. “Clinovo has always been a strong proponent of adopting CDISC standards” states Ale. “We recently held a panel discussion on CDISC for medical device companies and our open source CDISC conversion tool ‘CDISC Express’ has been downloaded by over 1,000 companies across the globe.” In his presentation Ale will explain how to prioritize the different steps to implement CDISC Standards, from CDASH CRF designs to succeeding an FDA Submission in the SDTM format.
Clinovo’s presentation is part of the CDISC Interchange session on ‘Adoption and Evolution of CDISC Standards’, chaired by Mark Lambrecht from the SAS Institute. This session will feature a presentation on ‘The Evolution of CDISC Standards and Therapeutic Areas’ from Tina Apers at Business & Decision Life. Following Ale’s presentation, Marie-Rose Van-Keer and Véronique Long from the Sanofi Group will talk on ‘Implementation of CDISC-based Global Standards’.
