WAYNE, Pa., Dec. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Bracket, a leading clinical trial specialty services provider, announced this week an important new update to its Randomization and Trial Supply Management product. Mobile patient reminders, delivered via SMS text messaging, are now available as a core component of Bracket's RTSM 4.0 platform.
"Medication and diary compliance is an essential step to executing a successful clinical trial. Expanding the tools available in our platform to ensure patients are taking their medications and reporting their symptoms is another step in our continuing commitment to improving the communication tools available in our eClinical suite," stated Jim Primerano, GM, eClinical, at Bracket.
Bracket SMS allows for reminders to be sent direct to patient mobile phones when they've opted in to the service.
