Frequently Asked Questions

Is the platform compliant with regulatory requirements?

Our platform meets 21 CFR Part 11 requirements and runs in SOC 2-compliant data centers. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with role-based access controls and regular compliance audits.

Can we customize the system to match our institutional policies?

Yes. The system is configurable to match your workflows, forms, and institutional requirements. We work with you during implementation to ensure the system reflects your specific processes.

What security measures are in place?

Enterprise-grade security includes SOC 2 compliant data centers,, data encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and regular security audits. The platform is designed to meet the highest standards of security and compliance.

How does automatic validation work?

The system performs an automatic "Check for Completeness" before protocol submission to ensure applications are complete. It identifies missing information and prompts corrections before you submit it to the IRB office.

What gets tracked in the audit trail?

The system maintains a complete history of forms, comments, attachments, notes, agendas, and meeting minutes for each protocol application. Every document is tracked with version history and timestamps showing who made changes and when.

What automated features are included?

Routine tasks are automated, including meeting management, agenda setting, document routing, and email notifications. The system auto-saves your work as you progress, allows pre-population of data from previous studies, and enables one-click submission of amendments and renewals.

Can we track protocol status in real-time?

Yes. PIs and research coordinators can track all protocols in a single, unified view showing current review status (pre-review, full board scheduled, contingencies pending), who's reviewing protocols and the timeline, and instant approval notifications when they happen.

How are permissions managed?

Role-based permissions ensure appropriate access: PIs view all their protocols, coordinators manage day-to-day submissions, co-investigators access only assigned studies, and all stakeholders work from one common application version.

What notification capabilities exist?

Configurable alerts notify you about continuing reviews due in 60 days, pending modifications that may delay enrollment, and expiring training certifications. Email notifications keep team members informed of progress and approaching deadlines.

What AI capabilities are available?

AI features help identify inconsistencies in protocols, review consent language for clarity, track regulatory updates from bodies like NIH and FDA, provide real-time knowledge support for protocol questions, analyze historical data for animal studies, and conduct risk assessments before committee review. The AI capabilities are endless, and you can customize them as per your institutional requirements.
