Continuum Clinical and Skipta announced the launch of the Center for Observational Research, connecting physicians and available research opportunities within a private and secure digital environment.
Skipta is a social network of specialized online medical communities. Continuum Clinical designs and implements observational studies and registries. Together, the two companies are harnessing crowdsourcing for research sponsors seeking non-interventional study participants outside the usual academic/clinical trial investigative sites.
“Skipta is thrilled to be working with Continuum Clinical, furthering our mission to support the professional, education and economic development of our members by bringing to them the latest study opportunities directly within their Skipta community,” John Ciccio, President of Skipta said. “The Center for Observational Research adds another dimension to the type of content we offer members, and we know it’s content that they want. We recently conducted a survey among more than 700 primary care physicians, urologists, cardiologists, psychiatrists and pediatricians, and found that 80% of respondents were ‘extremely interested’ in receiving more information about observational studies.”
The Center for Observational Research has initiated activity with observational study opportunities in a variety of therapeutic areas including immunology, oncology, dermatology and gastroenterology, and is available to accommodate new listings from research sponsors and CROs.
