PPD unveils new clinical trials mobile application

PPD claims the new application offers advanced keyword search menus and allows the users to customize their search in terms of location, gender, age and other search criteria including the details like the eligibility criteria and contact information.

PPD executive vice president and chief information officer Mike Wilkinson said mobile devices have become important tools for potential patients and investigators in their search for clinical trials targeted toward a specific disease.

"PPD is focused on delivering new technologies that educate these groups about the opportunities available to them and making the search for finding clinical trials an easier, more efficient process," Wilkinson said.
