Unleash operational data from diverse study applications to improve performance across all clinical trials

Cortex, the industry’s first and only clinical trial performance management system, is uniquely designed to leverage the power of access to centralized operational data from all applications used in a clinical study. Based upon ClinBUS® technology, Cortex includes a service-based data hub which standardizes clinical trial management data and its semantics in a centralized server to control the exchange of operational data between applications and data bases. Connectivity to Microsoft® Office SharePoint Server is optimized to enable access to previously hard-to-get-to clinical management data for use within the powerful Office System. Cortex is also designed to facilitate codeless customization by power users and Microsoft Independent Software      Vendors (ISVs) with SharePoint experience, enabling the extension and customization of clinical processes at a fraction of the cost and time of conventional development environments.

Finally—centralize and manage clinical trial operational data regardless of data formats and applications

For years the industry has struggled as the clinical trial environment becomes fragmented through increasing types of CTMS, EDC, IVRS, Safety and other clinical applications employed by disconnected sponsor and CRO business partners. TranSenda’s Cortex, with its patent-pending ClinBUS technology, represents a breakthrough in managing and controlling studies within a common environment—independent of study data formats and clinical trial applications.
