AutoDeclare's use with RCTs: AutoRCT

Case Study

A digital therapeutics (DTx) developer based in Manchester
, and their USA investor, faced several critical challenges when implementing a RCT:
  • Labour-intensive documentation processes that were new to the business
  • Inconsistent reporting standards from local, regional and national gate-keepers
  • Extended trial completion timelines because of the lack of availability of academic researchers
  • Rising costs amidst market pressures as often researchers need to be recruited for individual trials

Solution

AutoDeclare: AI-powered automation methods.  We mirrored their clinical trial using AI agents to act like researchers, evidence providers and regulators. The c
umulative cost savings relative to a academic only RCT was £234,960. The total time saved: 2,070 hours

The learning points from the process are shown below

Results
  • Trial completion time shortened by 60%
  • Documentation errors reduced by 90%
  • Staff productivity increased by 75%

Outcomes
  • Reduced time-to-market by 60%
  • Strengthened investor relations
  • Enhanced regulatory compliance
  • Improved trial data quality

Learning Points
  • Initial regulator staff resistance to new technology
  • Data migration complexities
  • System integration hurdles
  • Learning curve impact on productivity

Mitigations
  • Phased implementation approach​
  • Parallel systems operation
  • Regular validation protocols

From a suppliers perspective.  The cost saving was not as important as the time savings: as it is time to market that is the rate limiting step in a digital products journey to success.

Alas the DTx customer in this case study failed.  They attributed their failure to a human only research process that took too long to complete: the affect on cashflow was devastating.


In attempt to measure the affect of using Agents to gather and analyse data, relative to one human.  The following analysis was completed.
