In this podcast interview, iCardiac CEO Alex Zapesochny shares more about the launch. (0:11) What are some of the key trends you are following in clinical drug development? (1:04) You started with cardiac safety testing and then added pulmonary function testing. How do those fit together? (3:00) Now you have a new platform, QPoint. What is it, and why is it the next logical service? (4:44) For those who are less familiar with eCOA, what is it? And what are some of the challenges that are typically encountered? (7:09) Compliance is often an issue with patient reported outcomes. Do you address compliance with QPoint? (10:30) How important is eCOA for drug development? Is it a major change or incremental? (12:20) You have explained the move from cardiac safety to respiratory to eCOA. What can we expect next from iCardiac? — By healthcare business consultant David E.
