Adds Next-Generation Patient Payment and Logistics Functionality to its Clinical Trial Technology Platform for a Unified Patient Experience
Horsham, PA — Today Clinical ink, a global life science technology company, announces its strategic partnership with Mural Health, a next-generation participant management platform. With this partnership the Clinical ink eSource technology platform, which includes Direct Data Capture (DDC), electronic Clinical Outcomes Assessments (eCOA), Patient Engagement, eConsent, and digital biomarkers, now fully supports participant reimbursement and travel assistance, powered by the Mural Link platform.
Protocol compliance is critical to the success of a clinical trial. Clinical ink technology incorporates a variety of features that make participation easier while ensuring compliance monitoring. In addition to offering a best-in-class user experience, Clinical ink can now also facilitate participant stipend, reimbursement, and travel assistance leveraging the Mural Link innovative payment platform to further influence ongoing compliance, drive participant retention, and reduce administration for site-level personnel.
The Mural Health modern tech platform reimagines the participant payment and travel experience. Through that tech platform, Clinical ink is empowering participants to:
- Choose how they want to be paid, through modern modalities (PayPal, Venmo, Zelle), direct to a bank account, or via paper check
- Eliminate fees from prepaid cards, such as ATM and inactivity fees
- Book travel to and from appointments without incurring any out-of-pocket cost
Added benefits from the partnership include reducing site burden by integrating clinical systems, resulting in the elimination of multiple logins and double data entry. It also removes reliance on prepaid cards and the need for sites to manage the storage, security, and distribution of physical prepaid card inventory. “We are excited to announce this partnership,” says Chris Crucitti, Chief Commercial Officer of Clinical ink. “Combining the Mural Health unique patient payment model and transportation assistance with our industry-leading eSource technology will further streamline the experience for patients and sites. We provide sponsors a single, comprehensive solution to improve compliance.”
Commenting on the alliance, Mural Health CEO and Founder, Sam Whitaker, adds, “We are thrilled to partner with an industry leading platform like Clinical ink. Together with Clinical ink data capture capabilities, our combined solutions will make it easier to engage both patients and caregivers while driving protocol compliance. We look forward to watching this partnership grow as it continues to benefit all of the components of the clinical research ecosystem.”
