Data-driven decisions, every step of the way

With predictive analytics and hierarchical risk assessments, you can take decisive actions at each stage of activation, ensuring a smooth start-up process from the first site to full study enrolment.

Features

  • Real-time centralised dashboard - HORIZON offers a complete, real-time view of study and site activation progress. Consolidating data from multiple systems, HORIZON’s centralised dashboard provides transparency into each site’s status, pending tasks, and key dates, for quick, informed decision-making. Horizon allows users to visualize the study activation plan, as well as how disruptions such as protocol amendments, will impact the planned activations by site.

HORIZON’s task prioritisation features help you stay focused on high-impact activities, improving efficiency and accelerating study timelines.
  • Seamless collaboration across teams – Enable seamless collaboration among study start-up, clinical teams, and sponsor stakeholders. With consistent access to real-time data, each team can confidently coordinate and execute on shared priorities.
