Exploristics’ Simulation Survey

KerusCloud is a uniquely powerful software tool that simulates thousands of realistic clinical scenarios at a time, so every variable aspect of a study’s design can be fully optimised in silico. Spending a couple of minutes with the Exploristics’ Simulation Survey will help us determine if you’re currently getting the most out of your current approach to trial design and whether KerusCloud may be a good choice for your organisation.

Do you encounter difficulties searching the literature and historical data to provide a basis for your study assumptions?

YesNo

Can you tell us more about the specific difficulties you are having?

Are you under time pressure to generate results according to protocol-approval timescales?

YesNo

Do you experience limitations in simulation size due to available computational resource?

YesNo

Within your organisation, what is the level of skill and expertise for simulation?

HIghMediumLow

Within your organisation, do you have difficulties in sharing knowledge and code between research groups across your clinical trial portfolio to avoid duplication?

YesNo

Do you have a structured process to feed clinical insights gained during a real study back into your study planning and design process?

YesNo

Which additional software features could augment your current clinical trial planning process?

Cloud-based processing to generate complex simulations removing the need for computing infrastructure

Cloud-based knowledge repository for easy access and sharing within and across research teams

Generation of realistic synthetic data comprised of modern data types, risk factors and outcomes avoiding concerns about data privacy

User-friendly interface for rapid construction of development scenarios and easy refinement of study options without the need for programming

Interactive visualisation of results for exploration of simulated results to evaluate the interactions between study parameters and their effect on outcomes

The ability to export synthetic data, results and reports for further exploration, validation or audit

The use of predefined data libraries for rapid set up of high-dimensional simulations to generate virtual patient populations to mimic the real world
