Quintiles opens the doors to its new Solution Design Studio

Quintiles ($Q) has opened its global “Solution Design Studio” this week, where teams will collaborate to create new tech solutions that tackle some of healthcare’s biggest challenges.

The Studio is, according to the CRO, an “interactive technology-driven environment” featuring digital-simulation capabilities and “proven early-development processes that drive innovation and rapid problem solving.”

Quintiles’ customers, its therapeutic and domain experts and key healthcare stakeholders will join the Studio’s team of simulation analysts, wearable and virtual reality experts, user-interface designers and app developers, it said.

“We believe that the future of healthcare is intertwined with technology innovation and its application in real-world settings," said Richard Thomas, Quintiles president, technology and solutions. “Simply put, we are working with stakeholders to rapidly create technology solutions that solve healthcare challenges, big and small."

The new Studio is part of the Quintiles campus, located in the technology hub of Research Triangle Park in North Carolina.

The Solution Design Studio team already has a portfolio of digital projects, including the Quintiles Infosario One mobile app, its clinical development platform, Infosario Design, and Quintiles’ contribution to the Apple ($AAPL) ResearchKit framework.

The CRO is currently in the middle of a major ‘merger of equals’ with healthcare data and consultants IMS Health, which is expected to be completed this year.
