The Technology

The Cognition Group is excited to present a new technology that promises the utmost in rater drift minimization and consistency of ratings. The Signal Enhancement System (SES) is part of a cost effective and technologically advanced system that allows for greater control of the clinical interview at the site. The system not only ensures that interviews are conducted according to protocol, and with consistently applied interview techniques, but facilitates expert and consensus ratings, controls for raters' enrolment bias and expectancy bias while ensuring that patients with the correct diagnosis are entered into the study.

Our proprietary technology addresses in-study rater variance consequently enhancing data quality. The technology's strength is based on more focused investigator performance, controlled interview techniques, and consistent assessments.

The "store and forward" technology records the patient interview at the site through audiovisual capture. A laptop with an inbuilt camera is deployed to sites for recording their interview session and collection of the collateral information. The taped interview is stored in a secure server for rating and observation by an independent or expert rater.

The Methodology

The process differs from centralized rating systems in that it preserves the interaction between the site rater and the patient. The system also facilitates the assessment of new raters joining the study.

The system (technology and proprietary software) supports a range of methodologies including consensus ratings.

One methodology used in a study was developed in conjunction with a pharmaceutical partner and involves an active collaboration with the Site Rater and an Independent Expert Rater.

The Cognition Group's clinical trial experts along with your medical team will discuss and implement the most appropriate method for use in your study.
