Client Bio
The leading European eCOA system offers digital solutions for clinics and healthcare organizations to manage electronic Clinical Outcome Assessments (eCOA) and Electronic Data Capture (EDC). As COVID-19 accelerated digital transformation in healthcare, their platform became vital for securely collecting and analyzing patient-reported outcomes in real time - while maintaining compliance with strict data protection standards.
Situation
During the pandemic, healthcare providers relied heavily on this eCOA system for digital patient engagement. But with increased usage came several critical challenges:
- Surging user traffic overwhelmed the existing infrastructure
- Sensitive patient data needed stronger encryption and access control
- Compliance with HIPAA and GDPR was non-negotiable
- Efficient medical questionnaire workflows were crucial for clinical effectiveness
To address these issues, the company sought a partner capable of delivering a secure, scalable, regulation-ready solution—fast.
