KCR, an international clinical development solutions provider, has named Douglas Bain the organization’s Chief Technology Officer.
Douglas Bain comes to KCR with over 20 years of experience in the development and implementation of clinical trial technology solutions. As a pioneer in electronic data collection (EDC) implementation, Mr. Bain championed the shift towards ‘trials of the future’ with his operation of the first virtual trial cloud platform – Clinpal. At KCR, Doug plans to build on this by putting these modern trial methods into action.
On his plans for KCR, he says “KCR is recognised as a high-quality boutique Contract Research Organization that provides unrivalled cross-region clinical trial services. Sporting the highest level of customer retention in the industry, KCR has demonstrated their ability to combine quality with performance. With the further application and development of technology, I see this company taking a leading role in clinical development innovation.”
Bain will begin his tenure at the KCR Group by developing the technology strategy for Curandus. Curandus is a KCR sister company designed to manage patient engagement, and Mr. Bain will advance its ability to execute true patient centric solutions on an international scale.
Of the selection of Bain as the CTO, KCR CEO, Mike Jagielski said “Doug is a pioneer of EDC technology in this industry. He was working on IBM Clinware software, when ‘EDC’ as a term was not even established. More recently, he developed his own forward-looking technology solutions and has an unparalleled understanding of the user perspective. That combination of innovative thinking, deep understanding of software capabilities and full awareness of the customer perspective puts him in the perfect spot to achieve success as KCR’s Chief Technology Officer.”
