Clinical trial app choices: Expensive, for charity or in-the-making

By: Brian Dolan | Aug 4, 2009

StopWatch Media’s “Clinical Trials” iPhone app bills itself as a “powerful search tool that provides mobile access to more than 73,000 registered clinical trials from the National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health database.” Despite the app’s historically hefty price tag (the developers recently lowered the app’s price from $24.99 to $9.99), this one has long been the lone app to turn to for clinical trial information. The app recently added a Featured Trials tab to its interface that highlighted certain trials being presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2009 Annual Meeting held in Orlando.

Isn’t a browser better for this type of research? What’s the point or am I missing something?

I agree with Jeff. I have a hard time picturing many people using an iPhone app for this purpose.

Hi Jeff and Frank,

Healogica does have a browser-based search for clinical trials – http://www.healogica.com.

We actually think that finding patients for clinical trials can happen anywhere – on the web or via mobile devices. The goal is to engage patients and deliver quick and easy ways for them to interact with the clinical trial centers.

Thanks for the comments and feedback.
