Global Disease Surveillance Study Capabilities

The iProcess Global Surveillance Program: A Step-by-Step Process

  1. Strategic Consultation & Protocol Design: We collaborate with your scientific team to design a robust collection protocol tailored to your specific objectives, from defining patient cohorts to establishing sample collection and handling requirements.
  2. Global Site Activation & Training: We leverage our network of over 1,500 clinical sites across 30+ countries to identify and activate the right locations for your study. We manage all site training and oversight to ensure protocol adherence.
  3. Real-Time Sample Collection & Logistics: Our project managers oversee the real-time collection of biospecimens, managing cold chain logistics and global shipments to ensure sample integrity from the collection site to the laboratory.
  4. Centralized Laboratory Analysis & Data Management: Samples can be shipped to your designated laboratory or to our partner labs for analysis. We ensure that all biospecimens are accompanied by comprehensive, de-identified clinical data to provide crucial context for your findings.
Biospecimen Management, Technology, and Innovation

Case Studies: Proven Expertise in Complex Scenarios

Dual-Cohort Collection During a Pandemic

The Challenge: A leading diagnostic developer needed to rapidly source two distinct cohorts, healthy participants and patients with cancer, during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, navigating extreme logistical disruptions.
Our Solution:We leveraged our agile site activation protocols and robust project management to establish and manage collection across multiple sites simultaneously, ensuring safety and compliance while meeting aggressive timelines.

Rapid SARS-CoV-2 Sourcing for IVD Validation

The Challenge: At the height of the public health crisis, an IVD manufacturer required a diverse range of confirmed positive SARS-CoV-2 biospecimens to validate a new diagnostic assay under immense time pressure.
Our Solution: Our team quickly designed and deployed a custom sourcing protocol, activating our global network to procure a variety of sample types (e.g., swabs, saliva, blood) with associated clinical data, showcasing our scientific rigor and agility.

Frequently Asked Questions

The primary purpose of disease surveillance is to systematically collect, analyze, and interpret health-related data to detect, prevent, and control the spread of diseases. It provides critical information for public health action, policy decisions, and the development of medical countermeasures like vaccines and drugs.

The main types are passive surveillance, where data is routinely reported by healthcare providers, and active surveillance, where an organization, like iProcess, proactively seeks out data and samples through specific collection programs. Our services focus on active surveillance to meet targeted research goals.

We ensure quality through rigorous standardization. This includes using standardized collection kits, providing comprehensive training to all clinical sites, adhering to strict protocol requirements, and maintaining an unbroken cold chain during shipment to preserve biospecimen integrity.

Yes. While challenging, our global network and custom procurement expertise allow us to activate sites and develop protocols specifically designed to identify and source biospecimens from rare disease patient populations for epidemiological research.
