- Partnership to help decentralize clinical trials resulting in better and 
faster outcomes 

   Larsen & Toubro Infotech [https://www.lntinfotech.com/] (BSE: 540005) (NSE: 
LTI), a global technology consulting and digital solutions company has entered 
in a strategic partnership with eClinicalHealth Limited to accelerate digital 
innovation in R&D Clinical Trials Management process for patient-centric drug 
development. The partnership will help clients decentralize clinical trials 
setting new benchmarks of excellence in clinical research space. 

    The significance of the tie-up is based on the fact that 86 percent of 
clinical studies are delayed* due to challenges in patient engagement – mainly 
involving recruitment and retaining patients, which is a time consuming and 
expensive process. The pandemic has further aggravated this challenge. It is in 
this context that eClinicalHealth, which is focused on developing innovative 
clinical trial solutions, launched cloud-based patient-centric SaaS solution, 
Clinpal – which improves patient engagement for each clinical trial journey.  

   As part of this strategic partnership, LTI with its digital, technical and 
life sciences domain capabilities, will help accelerate joint go-to-market 
pursuits and faster deployment for Clinpal Adopters. The solution will make use 
of exponential technologies such as analytics and AI to enhance patient 
engagement and faster clinical studies. 

   Archana Ramanakumar, EVP & Global Delivery Head – Life Sciences, Media, 
Consumer & Technology, LTI commented: "At LTI, we are on a journey to drive 
digital transformation for various aspects of clinical trials. Our endeavour 
with eClinicalHealth partnership is to accelerate and streamline the enablement 
of Decentralized Trials, to reduce patient burden and drive acceleration of 
clinical trials. With this partnership we aim to accelerate the development and 
deployment of eClinicalHealth's ClinPal platform in clinical trials for the 
industry."

   Karl Landert, Chairman of the Board and CEO at eClinicalHealth said: "The 
new normal world has put into limelight the benefits of a telemedicine 
ecosystem for larger benefit of end-users. Clinical trials assume an important 
function in development and improvement of treatment methods in order to 
enhance patient's wellbeing, and De-Centralized Trials (DCT) have attained 
highest order of patient preference. With our strategic partnership with LTI, 
our aim is to further scale and simplify patient engagement."
