-- Patient-self reporting: Customers capture research or outcomes data directly from patients on touch screen, Internet-platform kiosks in the clinic, prior to the patient visit. The data are used by physicians for care-giving purposes during the same patient visit and are posted to the Velos research database. Some institutions use such patient self-reporting capabilities on-line, enabling patients to report research and outcomes data before and after treatment in accordance with study protocols.
-- Comprehensive research database: Some customers use Velos to capture all patient data, not just clinical trial data. These data are then used for outcomes, research, and publication purposes.
-- Clinical trial networks and consortiums: One Velos customer runs a statewide research consortium with hundreds of users across dozens of sites, fulfilling 50 or so clinical trials. Another group of very large cancer centers uses a federated Velos database grid to conduct dozens of clinical trials that are supported by both government and pharmaceutical sponsors at sites across the U.S.
-- South Korea, with a population about the size of California, uses Velos for cancer research for the entire country.
Velos customers also use Velos eResearch for research budgeting and billing, on-line protocol review meetings, federal reporting, tissue and specimen management, registry reporting, and more.
The company's product design strategy from the start has been "go deep
and broad." Medicine and medical research are specialty disciplines, which
means products need to be able to "go deep" in supporting particular
specialty areas of research. To "go deep" effectively, a system must also
support researcher collaborators across many institutions in the same
specialty area. At the same time, within any one institution, research is
usually conducted in many disease or subspecialty areas w
