Clinical Discovery Platform

Turn what you know
into what’s possible.

Your organization has its own processes, infrastructure, and technologies. The Clinical Discovery Platform connects clinical data and workflows across that environment—helping your teams work together, maintain oversight, and make more of the data you already have.

CDP connects traditional EDC and eCRFs, ZDE™ eSource and connected clinical data, including medical imaging (DICOM), through one governed intake model. Continuous clinical data management includes validation, reconciliation, medical coding and risk monitoring. Microsoft Fabric supports a harmonized, governed, analysis-ready data estate; Microsoft Foundry supports purpose-built clinical agents. Human approval, role-based access and audit trails support oversight. Operational Efficiency includes less manual effort and rework and earlier issue detection. AI-Assisted Discovery includes signals across the data estate, smarter clinical decisions and earlier evidence synthesis. The Microsoft platform foundation includes Azure SQL, Fabric, Purview, Power BI and Foundry, with security, regulatory compliance, governance and human control.
