How does myAvro make a difference?
With our game-changing, 5G, ruggedised, antimicrobial mobile devices, designed from the ground up for clinical trials. myAvro is the hardware platform behind your data collection.
Provision the hardware, onboard your apps, fine-tune the settings and ship your devices to subjects all over the world. We even provide a range of globally-certified chargers and e-SIMs!
Promoting Inclusivity
Enabling poorer, remote communities to take part in trials
The WHO is rightly pushing for the inclusion of a more diverse range of subjects in global clinical trials. After all, the citizens of the world's poorest regions arguably need medicines the most. Not enough people in sub-Saharan Africa partake in Malaria trials, for example. Whilst their networks may be strong, their devices are often old and outdated, insecure and not suitable for the complex data capturing apps in use today. Data plans may be minimal and remarkably costly. BYOD simply isn't an option, but what's the answer?
With myAvro's purpose-built devices, it really is that simple. Provision & configure, ship the devices, conduct the trial, retrieve the devices, wipe & redistribute to the next trial! Top quality data is captured over the network during the trials and the global e-SIM option makes data plans a cinch. Built ruggedly to last for multiple trial cycles, with hot-swappable batteries and service plans available, myAvro devices are not set to fail like consumer devices. Please contact us if this is music to your ears!
Competence, Purpose, Excellence
History
myAvro was founded four years ago with a single aim: to bring better technology to the UK, European and indeed Worldwide markets. We don't believe top quality and fair pricing to be mutually exclusive.
Global
In the UK, Guangzhou Province & Hong Kong, we have a hard-working, established team that gets things done. No more translation issues or delays, but a well-oiled machine that you can rely on and trust to deliver to schedule.
Experience
Between the four founding members, we have over 80 years of mobile technology experience, from building phones to securing complex networks. This is translated into a first-class service for our customers.
We do it better
CROs, eCOAs & ePROs have been using technology in trials for some time now, but the industry is by no means close to a benchmark standard as yet. Devices are typically muti-brand/ platform, disparate, unmanageable, less than secure and still not developed for this specific purpose.
We're upping the standards and giving control to those who need it.
Durable Hardware
myAvro combines aesthetics with longevity, supplying rugged devices that are IP rated for weather & dustproofing and made with microbial-grade materials. Lifecycle is key.
Device Management
No more need for multiple apps and platforms to manage numerous brands, operating systems & add-ons. Stay in control with a single dashboard to manage your device network.
Top Security
The security of your hardware is something that we take very seriously. With a purposefully-designed platform, you can rest assured that your devices are as secure as is physically possible.
Simplifying & improving medical trials with technology
myAvro provides dedicated mobile hardware technology specifically
to address the shortcomings in today's clinical testing market
- Purpose-built devices for medical trials and environments
No more adapting existing devices to fit your needs. No more paying through the nose for consumer hardware that is designed purely for looks and therefore fragile and designed to fail. No more battling to install what you need and then struggling to manage it. myAvro brings you devices that are designed from the ground up to deliver what you need in your line of business: usability, durability, manageability.
- Single SKUs for each model for any region
Gone are the multiple SKUs, specs and pricing for each global region, giving you headaches and a plethora of additional costs. One device (phone, tablet, charger, watch, ring) fits all and works on each and every network around the world. Whether you need devices for North or South America, Europe, SE Asia or Africa, the SKUs, specifications and costs are the same.
- Hard-wearing, robust, IP-rated and secure
Most devices today in medical trials are adaptations of consumer devices and therefore pretty, but not rugged. myAvro provides certified hardware that is not only antimicrobial - lessening the chances of contamination for users - but durable, in fact tough as nails, water-resistant to at least IP65 (up to IP68) and secure, both physically and virtually.
- 5G-enabled: future-proofing your business
The future is here, but most users aren't. Almost all devices utilised in clinical trials today are only 4G-enabled, mostly due to component costs and lack of preparedness for the future. myAvro supplies 5G-enabled devices at better costs than our competitors supply 4G, allowing customers to future-proof their portfolio and utilise the fastest, most reliable networks of today, as well as legacy ones.
- Dedicated device management suite
Simplicity is key, efficiency is vital. Fed up or struggling with manageability issues with multiple MDM suites and programmes? That ends here as, with myAvro, one management portal does it all, across your phones, tablets, watches and rings. Monitor and manage your entire portfolio through a single pane of glass. Doesn't that sound more than just tempting?
- e-SIMs for simplicity, manageability and global usage
Multiple SIMs from different network providers in each region around the world? Now, that's a nightmare. Hundreds of contracts with different Ts&Cs, data allowances and minutes, some with roaming, others without. SIM cards lost in the post or broken. This is all fixed with such ease: a myAvro device with an on-board (optional) e-SIM that works anytime, anywhere and on one contract for all!
- Less errors in data recording; real-time collection, alerts, reminders and more
Traditional clinical trials are so very prone to errors, both in data collection quality and above all, user-based. Subjects might forget to input data as and when required, or may do so in an incomprehensible manner. Inputs may not be accurately timestamped, if at all. Errors like this lead to data that is inaccurate and, frankly, useless. With a myAvro device, it is almost impossible for subjects to input incorrectly. Data is collected in real time, stamped, and available centrally with immediate effect. Any potential anomalies can thus be addressed on the spot and eradicated with confidence.
- Increased and more predictable uptime
Multiple device brands and versions give vastly differing uptimes per charge, and device battery lifecycles. myAvro devices provide long-life usage with predictability through uniformity, as well as the option for hot-swappable batteries. No more running out of juice at critical times; users can swap their battery out in minutes with zero downtime whatsoever. Uninterrupted data is better data.
- Planet-friendly, for users, suppliers and the earth itself
Longer lifecycles due to rugged durability equate to less swap-outs and hardware replacement, and indeed disposal. Battery swapping enables hugely extended device lifetimes. Single platform hardware means less components to be shipped for manufacturing & replacement. e-SIMs are plastic-free. Our packaging is sustainable and recyclable, with some parts having already been recycled themselves.
- Better value through lower MOQs
myAvro offers lower minimum order quantities than those who provide generic, consumer hardware. We offer you a standardised platform - yet customised to your needs - with in-built software and features to have your subjects up and running in moments, without extortionate up-front monetary requirements. Build a device portfolio steadily, at your pace and pay as you grow.
- A better overall solution at a fraction of the cost
All in all, what myAvro provides you with is a long-lasting, hard-wearing, reliable device that reinvents the game, bringing a standardised approach to clinical testing. More uptime, increased data accuracy, a single platform to educate and support subjects on, and crucially, reduced costs.
When it comes to cost versus reward, myAvro really is the tech partner of choice for your clinical trials.
Common issues that myAvro addresses
Clinical trials on humans are nothing new; they've been taking place all over the world for years now. Whether undertaken by pharmaceuticals, medical boards or professional testing organisations, many thousands take place each year. However, are we always seeing the most accurate data and results?
Anomalies in data collection
Until recently, studies showed that there was only a 68% accuracy level in the data captured across EU-based drugs trials. This was mainly due to anomalies in reporting, eg: manual entry errors, completely missing data, illegible written answers, lack of clarity on exactly when a negative effect took place and many other factors.
'Out-of-date' or disparate data
With reporting that isn't precisely time-stamped, the data collected may often not be correlated to an exact time or event. For example, a dosage was taken at 12:10 and the individual reported feeling unwell later that day, but a lack of precision failed to highlight that this was a daily trend 20 minutes after dosage.
Manageability issues
Keeping on top of multiple devices, across a variety of concurrent tests in numerous countries or regions can prove to be a real challenge, even for the most advanced CROs. So much so that some trials are ended early or even abandoned altogether, or restarted at extra cost to those running them.
Multiple platforms
If the subjects in a trial are reporting via electronic device(s), these will almost certainly be from multiple vendors, with different platforms, operating systems, settings, user interfaces and so on. This makes it costly and difficult with regard to management, training. maintenance and manageability.
Numerous device brands
As with the point before, but this is actually a huge issue overall. If devices are not standardised, there is a huge opportunity for user error and it's more difficult for support teams to provide clear and concise resolutions. One device brand, one operating system, one platform and these issues are eradicated.
Insecurities
Be it physical or cyber, it's not easy to give or loan your subjects devices - be it phones, tablets or watches - that are secure and robust. That is, unless you are providing them with hardware that is built precisely to be robust and that comes with cyber security of the highest standards already installed.
