Clinsights: Making Information A Competitive Advantage
Executive Summary
Clinsights uses advanced information systems technology to aggregate population-based clinical outcomes data, and to disseminate this data to device companies and physicians. The company's data collection services include e-registries for clinical research, outcomes databases at key clinical centers, and post-market surveillance studies, and the information is disseminated through specialty websites and Internet-based data systems.Key to Clinsights' approach is building relationships with thought leaders in different clinical specialties, the first of which is interventional cardiology. In this area, Clinsights is working with the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF), sponsors of the leading interventional cardiology conference, the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) meeting. This partnership has produced Clinsights' first website, TCTMD.com.Clinsights' bet is that it can convince medical device companies of the value of its services, built around the ability to collect and disseminate information, and enhanced by partnerships with leading physicians, in providing a competitive advantage that can help differentiate products and technologies.
