CluePoints Launches Three AI-Led Clinical Data Review Capabilities, Co-Innovated with a Top 10 Pharmaceutical Company

Published

on

Intelligent Query Detection, Medical & Safety Review and Intelligent Medical Coding are now generally available, extending CluePoints’ science-first approach from RBQM into clinical data review. The partner will join CluePoints live at SCDM 2026 to celebrate the launch.

WAYNE, Pa., Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CluePoints, the premier provider of Risk-Based Quality Management (RBQM) and clinical data quality oversight software, today announced the general availability of three clinical data review capabilities: Intelligent Query Detection (IQD), Medical & Safety Review (MSR) and Intelligent Medical Coding (IMC). All three were co-innovated in close collaboration with a top 10 pharmaceutical company, with the applications live in the vast majority of ongoing studies (including mega-studies) today. The partner will join CluePoints on stage at the SCDM 2026 Annual Conference (September 14–17, Raleigh, NC) to celebrate the launch.

CluePoints built its reputation on applying peer-reviewed science to clinical oversight, an approach now enacted in ICH E6(R3) and deployed by CluePoints across thousands of studies, globally, and the basis on which risk-based monitoring became an industry standard. IQD, MSR and IMC apply that same rigorous and adaptable scientific foundation to three of the most resource-intensive workflows in clinical development: query management, medical and safety review and medical coding. These are the workflows where fragmented tools, broad manual checks and disconnected review cycles most often delay decisions and put data integrity at risk.

Each capability was built strategically in close partnership with a top 10 pharmaceutical company, shaped, tested and validated in production alongside their data management, medical and coding teams, against real portfolio pressure, and is deployed across their studies today. The partner’s teams contributed directly to the design of IQD’s user-defined scenarios and to MSR’s change-based review model, the two capabilities CluePoints expects to have the most immediate effect on how sponsors organize clinical data review.

“Clinical data management has been fragmented by design, separate systems, separate teams, separate workflows. That is precisely why problems are identified late, reviewed time and time again, and ultimately acted upon too slowly,” said Richard Young, Chief Strategy Officer at CluePoints. “We are setting a simpler standard: Only meaningful data issues should be reviewed, and reviewed just once, by the right person, using the right data, at the right time. That is the shift from human in the loop to human in the lead. The science does the searching, the expert does the deciding. Clinical trials have never been short of data, they have been short of the confidence to act on it early enough to drive the right outcome. That is the challenge we intend to solve.”

Three capabilities, one scientific foundation

Intelligent Query Detection (IQD) replaces broad manual listing review with targeted, evidence-backed query generation and puts hyper efficient execution in the hands of the study team. Through user-defined scenarios, a data manager can ask any clinical or operational question. No code, no change request, no waiting on a vendor release cycle. The system applies that logic continuously and returns only the records where the answer suggests something needs attention. This is the point at which a data manager’s own study knowledge becomes a repeatable, automated check, and the point at which detection logic stops being a vendor’s roadmap item and becomes a study team’s capability. IQD will enable high-performing teams to transform data management into a continuous decision-making capability, identifying risks early, targeting effort where it matters most, aligning cross-functional action and embedding quality oversight into study governance. The result: high precision queries, raised earlier, resulting in reduced site burden, faster, higher-quality responses and an accelerated path from Last Patient Last Visit to database lock.

Medical & Safety Review (MSR) turns a mandatory ICH-GCP obligation still run in many organizations on spreadsheets, static listings and manual reconciliation, into a continuous, patient-centric decision workflow. MSR unifies data from disparate sources without burdensome, error-prone mapping, presents the consolidated clinical picture of a patient rather than a stack of listings, and guides reviewers through live study updates proactively, avoiding re-work. Reviewers move from a signal to a contextualized query inside the same validated environment, including posting back to EDC / data management systems, removing hand-offs between Medical, Safety and Data Management. Review activity is captured continuously, building audit-ready evidence as the work happens rather than reconstructing it retrospectively. MSR is system-agnostic and available for all studies (ongoing and new), with deployment measured in days rather than months.

Intelligent Medical Coding (IMC) is an agentic application rather than another coding interface. IMC applies advanced deep learning to generate MedDRA and WHODrug coding suggestions, delivering up to 99% accuracy for MedDRA and reducing manual coding effort by approximately 50%. It learns from an organization’s own validated historical decisions, so institutional coding knowledge is retained across studies, teams and dictionary up-versions rather than resetting each time. IMC operates within Veeva Vault EDC.

SCDM 2026

CluePoints will host a formal launch activation at SCDM 2026, including expert-led live demonstrations of all three capabilities, a dedicated clinical data review experience in the exhibition hall, and an evening launch event co-hosted with the co-innovation partner’s data management leadership, who will be present throughout the conference. CluePoints’ product strategy and scientific teams will be available for in-depth discussion of implementation, ICH E6(R3) alignment and clinical data review program design.

About CluePoints

CluePoints is the premier Risk-Based Quality Management (RBQM) and Data Quality Oversight Software provider. We are leveraging the potential of Artificial Intelligence using Advanced Statistics and Machine Learning to determine the quality, accuracy, and integrity of clinical trial data both during and after study conduct. Aligned with guidance from the FDA, EMA, and ICH E6(R3), CluePoints is deployed to support central and on-site monitoring, medical review, quality risk management and to drive a holistic Risk-Based strategy in all trials. Coupled with thought leadership and consulting expertise to aid pre-study risk assessment, identification of risk controls and solution implementation, you now have everything you need to adhere with global regulatory guidance. The result is positive clinical development outcomes, increased operational efficiency, lower costs and reduced regulatory submission risk as part of the industry paradigm shift to RBQM.

Quickplay Launches Live Operations, Bringing AI-Enriched Orchestration and Operational Control to Live Broadcast Channels

Published

on

By

Operators can now control distributed stations, enforce standards network-wide, transform newscasts into social and vertical content, correct station errors in real-time all via a single console

AMSTERDAM , Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Quickplay, the Content to Value Operating System for media and entertainment, today announced Live Operations, a cloud-native, centralized management control plane for managing live broadcast and OTT channels. With it, operators can now manage scheduling, signal control, ad decisioning, clip production, and monitoring and observability from one console. AI is distributed across entire live broadcast workflows, enabling newsrooms to apply intelligence in completely new ways including across editorial. Quickplay will publicly debut Live Operations at IBC 2026, Hall 5.G86.

Ideal for broadcasters and streaming operators running live-linear and FAST channels, news organizations managing distributed stations without full-time on-site engineering staff, sports rights holders with regional blackout requirements, and multi-channel operators running multiple simultaneous channels, Live Operations provides operational control at scale. At a time when broadcasters spend approximately 75% of their time on technical workflows, this capability unchains them from those responsibilities so they can focus on delivering the high-quality live programming viewers depend on.

Most operators manage live across a stack of tools that don’t share signals: scheduling in one system, signal control in another, ad break management in yet another, with clipping handled as a separate post-production workflow entirely. When something breaks, teams find out late and must work across multiple systems to fix it.

“Many broadcasters today use AI to do smart things in metadata, in packaging, in ad decisioning, each creating individual value, yet completely disconnected from the others. With live programming, the time needed to connect these dots is time operators simply don’t have. Viewers will have moved on, as will the revenue,” said Paul Pastor, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer, Quickplay. “AI at a single step creates value. But AI orchestrated across every step, across an entire broadcast network, creates compounding value. At IBC, we’re showcasing the power of this live AI workflow and highlighting the success Television New Zealand (TVNZ) and Gray Media are seeing with it.”

What Live Operations Does

Live Operations is the operator-facing control plane inside the Content to Value Operating System. From a single console, operators control:

Scheduler and EPG Management: Enables operators to manage metadata, and build and manage all content from one, centralized location including live events, VOD assets, slates, and replays. Unscheduled gaps and schedules conflicts are flagged and corrected before going live.Live Channel & Signal Control: Gives users control over what’s on air at each moment including input switching, slate insertion, fallback triggering, stream acquisition, and channel start and stop operations, all from a single dashboard.Ad Break and SCTE-35 Management: Enables users to automate ad break timing through SCTE-35 cues. Users can also view real-time metadata to improve ad decisioning, a revenue protection feature for ad-supported channels.Live Disruption and Fallback: Delivers automated and manual fallback protection for signal loss and unexpected disruptions. When the live input drops below configured health thresholds, the platform automatically routes output to a pre-configured looped VOD fallback asset without operator intervention. Fallback at any time can proactively be triggered at any time, and is local to the Quickplay platform, never dependent on an external signal source.Live-to-VOD and Clip Factory: Transforms each newscast into a catalog of distributable content automatically. AI analyzes live event recordings and packages it into a series of branded short clips, complete with new metadata, ready for verticalization and syndication, removing the burden of responsibility from producers and reporters. Monitoring & Observability: Ensures real-time visibility into every layer of the live delivery chain via a unified dashboard.

“Live has no margin for error,” said Juan Martin, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Quickplay. “Live Operations challenges today’s status quo by eliminating the need for disconnected systems so that if something breaks down during a live broadcast, teams are notified and a fix is in process in real-time. No dead air, no missed SCTE cues, no failed signals. This is AI doing what it should do, backed by the assurance of a Content to Value Operating System purpose-built to support transformation.”

Live Operations is a part of Quickplay’s Content to Value Operating System which connects every step of digital media production and monetization into one smart system, built on five engines: Stream, Enrich, Activate, Engage, and Maximize. Live Operations lives within Stream, which delivers broadcast-grade, scalable streams for live, VOD, catch-up, and virtual channels. As a part of the larger system, Live Operations is inherently connected to other engines, bringing the value of true orchestration to the entire workflow of a broadcast network.

Quickplay will showcase Live Operations at IBC 2026 in Hall 5.G86. Schedule your meeting here.
