Cure Mania grips TrialX! Launching Cure Talk, Cure Bytes and Curepedia.

As the Superbowl mania grips the football fans across the country this weekend, we at TrialX have been gripped with the launch of new suite of tools to enable patients to learn about new cures and treatments. Clinical trials provide access to cutting-edge, potentially life-saving treatments, however the patients are often not aware about these treatments options. There are several resources on the web that provide information on existing drugs and therapies, however, there is not a single, comprehensive information resource for patients to learn about upcoming treatments in clinical trials. With this need in mind, we wanted to create an information resource for new treatments in clinical trials but we did not want to create yet-another-health-website with static list of web pages filled with medical jargon. People nowadays get their most of the information (and news!) from their friends on social networks, micro-blogs and blogs. So we decided to create 3 complimentary information resources: Cure Talk, Cure Bytes and Curepedia that combine all the elements of opinionated/social knowledge, real-time information, and referential/authoritative knowledge.

About new cures, treatments and healthier you.

Information for your well-being in 560 bytes (140 characters) or less

                  A wiki of New Treatments

These tools are currently in early-beta and we'll be sending out invites over new few weeks to the TrialX patient and investigator community to contribute to these resources and provide us feedback. Let us know if you have any suggestions or comments.

Welcoming 2010 with a Global Embrace. TrialX Launches in Canada, UK and India

We have had a great 2009 and we wanted to start 2010 by empowering people across the planet to benefit from clinical trials and medical research. We have received several queries from folks in the last few months asking if TrialX would be available in other countries. So we thought why not start a series of international sites starting 2010 (and quite literally; as i type this blog, CNN is showing folks screaming the countdown to 2010 at Times Square). So we are officially launching TrialX in three countries today - Canada, United Kingdom and India. We have had the TrialX Canada site (in partnership with SMD, a Canadian company) available for some time now. And its picking up a steady stream of visitors and users.

And today we turn on TrialX United Kingdom and TrialX India. We will be launching TrialX in another set of countries in coming days (hoping that we will be in countries spread across 5 continents!).

It truly is exciting going global. By the way, in case you have been wondering, yes, we are heading out to celebrate the New Years Eve. (We are 3 hrs behind on the West Coast, so could watch the revelry in NYC as we post this)

A very Happy New Year!

The TrialX Team
Signing off from Pasadena, California

Thanks for making 2009 a Great Year.

Today we bid farewell to 2009 and its been a great year. It has been an exciting, challenging and rewarding to get TrialX live and up and continuously evolving. And we thank all our users who have used the site to find a clinical trial for themselves or their loved ones. We have had a very encouraging response with hundreds of clinical trials searches being performed all over the country everyday.

2009 also saw us expand TrialX beyond the main website and our PHR integrations with Microsoft HealthVault and Google Health. We launched our Clinical Trials search widget that can be embedded on any third-party website (see example). We integrated TrialX with Twitter so that users can find trials through Twitter. In September, we launched our iPhone Application which lets you find a clinical trial near you.

As always we are looking forward to working harder and continuously improving TrialX in 2010. There is a lot more to come and we are as inspired, motivated and excited as the day we started TrialX. Wishing our users, friends and every one, a very Happy New Year! And yes, we are welcoming it a big embrace (more about this in the next post).
