Protocol Manager and AdWatch are proprietary software systems developed and supported by WBS. Protocol Manager increases the efficiency of communications between parties involved in clinical trials by allowing access to global clinical trial data electronically, eliminating the need to transcribe, mail and fax traditional paper forms. AdWatch insures patient safety by automatically collecting adverse events from patient data in Protocol Manager and alerting professional monitors when adverse events occur. AdWatch then populates the MedWatch forms with the information required by government regulatory agencies and electronically transmits the forms to the FDA. “We are pleased to be a part of the product development process,” said Michael Regentz, Winchester's Managing Director. “Winchester has the business knowledge and is committed to insure success of this effort to streamline clinical trials management.”
