NEW YORK, April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- AiCure, an AI and advanced data analytics company focused on improving clinical trials, today announced milestone product enhancements to improve its flexibility and usability, as well as new leadership members to steer the company's future performance. By bolstering both its AI offerings and executive team, AiCure is well established for strong growth and to further empower life science organizations with data-driven insights.

AiCure Patient Connect provides patients with the necessary training to successfully and safely dose.

High quality, reliable dosing data is critical to any clinical trial's success, but in some cases, patients may be asked to administer drugs in a manner that is new to them. AiCure is unveiling a new release of its patient engagement application, Patient Connect, with which sites can now monitor and analyze patient dosing behavior for new routes of drug administration beyond pills. AiCure uses its existing computer vision and AI technology to customize dosing support depending on a trial's needs, including inhalers, eye drops, injections, patches, disposables, and more. Sites can also leverage AiCure's video data to monitor a patient's technique and intervene to provide guidance if needed. By making its technology adaptable to new realms of dosing and research, AiCure aims to support all trials and elevate the integrity of their data, while providing patients with the necessary training to be successful and safely dose.

Expanded Leadership Team to Drive Future Growth
In addition to the redesign of its patient application, AiCure also appointed a new Chief Medical Officer and added two industry veterans to lead the company into its next chapter. These include:

Earnest Offley, Vice President of People Operations: Mr. Offley will be championing the growth and development of AiCure's culture and talent while supporting the company's executives and team leaders to drive sustainable, diverse growth.
