Objective

A baby nutrition client sought to create a database of stool images that could be used for internal software development purposes.

Methodology

ObvioHealth recruited 100 mothers of toddlers virtually. We developed the protocol, eCRF, prescreening and eICF. Mothers captured images of their baby’s stools using their smart phones. They were trained to grade them using the Brussels scale. Images were stratified into 7 stool consistency types and validated by two expert scorers.

Results

• Enrollment target was reached in 12 weeks.
• 2,366 images collected.
• The virtual study design facilitated strong  engagement resulting in a 95% retention rate.
• Expert scorers identified some biases in mothers’ scores, highlighting a tendency to over-report those within the ‘normal’ range.

COVID-19 Case Study: Monitoring Patients Remotely Using Digital Devices

ObvioHealth successfully conducted a clinical trial for RedHill Biopharma to test the safety and efficacy of an oral medication for the treatment of COVID-19 symptoms. We designed this decentralized study to be conducted where the majority of patients recover from illness—in their homes. When the trial was launched in 2021, its unique combination of home health visits, electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO), and remote monitoring devices was pioneering—COVID-19 studies were typically conducted inside hospitals.
