AG Mednet Named “Innovative Technology of the Year” Finalist by the Mass Technology Leadership Council
Boston, MA (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- AG Mednet’s Submission Quality & Compliance software was recently named a finalist for the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council’s 2013 Innovative Technology of the Year for Healthcare/Life Sciences. The award was announced before a crowd of more than 200 tech executives at the Microsoft NERD Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Introduced in 2012, AG Mednet’s Submission Quality & Compliance technology is the industry’s first automated, quality control platform to detect errors in clinical trial data submissions at the source, before they leave the investigator site and cause delays. Delays in clinical trials range from technical oversights, inconsistent data entry and improper sequencing of medical image scans, to simple human errors such as missing signatures or illegible handwriting. Recent studies show that a single query stoppage can delay a trial for up to seven weeks, costing sponsors millions of dollars. With Submission Quality & Compliance software, sponsors and laboratories can automate a significant portion of quality control tasks, reducing time and cost in clinical trials.
“The decrease in queries is game-changing for the clinical trial industry,” says Abraham Gutman, president and CEO of AG Mednet. “Our software is now in use by thousands worldwide and has successfully cut avoidable query delays by 75 percent for pharmaceutical sponsors.”
“We are honored to have AG Mednet’s Submission Quality & Compliance software as a finalist for the 2013 Innovative Technology of the Year – Healthcare/Life Sciences Award,” said Tom Hopcroft, President and CEO of MassTLC. “AG Mednet’s technology and market leadership is testimony to what fuels Massachusetts’ vibrant tech community.”
In it’s 16th year, The Massachusetts Technology Leadership Awards celebrates innovation and leadership in technology. The award winners in this category and 16 other categories will be announced at the annual Awards Gala on Thursday, September 12 at the Westin, Waterfront.
