Clinical trial data management system(eCRF system) of SendSquare, a foundation of FLETA, was selected as an outstanding project among those supported by the National IT Industry Promotion Agency of South Korean Government, aka NIPA.

The final decision of NIPA was made on 3rd December when there were the final presentations of NIPA’s selected projects. Since the eCRF system became an outstanding project, FLETA’s CEO Paul could get a chance to give a special presentation at NIFA’s Outcome Presentation.

The event was on 18th December, and he introduced Sendsquare’s eCRF system that utilizes FLETA chain to the attendants. The presentation got much attention, and many people asked questions to Paul after the presentation.

At the event, FLETA operated its own booth, and many people came to hear about the eCRF system. After Paul’s presentation, more people visited FLETA’s booth and showed their great interest!

Since the eCRF project was selected as one of the PoC support projects of NIPA, FLETA has conducted eCRF System development and testbed experiments. Led by SendSquare, the project is in progress with the cooperation of Hanyang University and Seoul ST. Mary’s Hospital. There were also testbed experiments on actual patients of Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital to develop the eCRF system. Besides, the system completed the certification test of Software Software Testing Laboratory of the Telecommunications Technology Association.

A typical feature of blockchain technology is that when information is recorded, it cannot be modified or deleted arbitrarily, thereby preventing record manipulation. SendSquare’s eCRF system is a blockchain-based clinical trial data collection tool for preventing forgery, omission, and errors of clinical trial data by recording them on the blockchain.

Through such a process, the clinical trial data can be more credible, and an accurate data management system based on real data is possible. The eCRF system aims to be a tool that patient and people in the medical industry can efficiently use. Thus, it easy to manage clinical trial data and prevent medical accidents or information manipulation in advance, enabling safer medical life and more efficient health care. Based on the eCRF system, SendSquare aims to preoccupy the global clinical data management market shortly.

Paul Park, CEO of Sendsquare, said, “Being selected as an ‘outstand project’ means our technology got recognized to the government officials and people in the scene. We will apply blockchain technology to many areas, including healthcare. As you can see in the case of the eCRF system, our lives can be better if we utilize blockchain technology efficiently.
