Solution
Life Clinical Research, committed to operational excellence and innovation in trial delivery, adopted Foxo across its site network to power a fully paperless, participant-centric trial experience.
With the support of Foxo’s clinical implementation team, LCR deployed key Foxo modules, including Patient Connect and Powerlist, across its clinical research operations. The deployment aligned with the site’s use of Clinical.ly for eSource and eRegulatory, delivering a fully integrated and auditable digital workflow.
Foxo Patient Connect allows participants to securely message the study team by scanning a QR code provided on a branded patient card with no downloads or onboarding required. Participants can report adverse events, submit photographs, ask medication questions, or request reschedule appointments. Messages are time-stamped, securely logged, and automatically escalated if not acknowledged within five minutes, ensuring swift and compliant responses.
Foxo Powerlist transformed the way LCR manages pre-screening. Investigators flag potential participants by generating a digital Participant Card and placing it into a study-specific team chat. Coordinators can then review, tag, and triage candidates collaboratively - streamlining lead generation and providing sponsors with real-time recruitment visibility.
Looking ahead, Powerlist offers potential for expansion via Foxo’s Referrer Connect, enabling external referrers - such as GPs or specialists - to submit trial candidates directly into the Powerlist workflow without requiring a Foxo account or onboarding. This future-facing feature mirrors the seamless functionality of Patient Connect and could unlock new recruitment pathways for LCR by capturing inbound referrals from trusted healthcare providers in real time.
