Calgary-founded app Zamplo aims to revolutionize medical research to solve the world's most challenging health issues, faster.

Calgary-founded app Zamplo aims to revolutionize medical research to solve the world's most challenging health issues, faster.

Zamplo is a first of its kind app that helps people track and analyze their health data and connect with medical researchers around the world, while leaving them a copy for their future use.

 

Tuesday, July 20 — With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to disrupt clinical trials across the globe due to social distancing restrictions, Calgary-startup Zamplo, is working with participants and medical researchers globally to keep important medical studies going remotely.

The app, founded by CEO Shaneel Pathak, was inspired by the challenges he faced alongside his late-wife who was diagnosed with Stage-4 lung cancer in 2013. During their four-year journey navigating the healthcare system, Shaneel saw firsthand there were limited digital tools available to consolidate the scattered information from various healthcare providers for himself, family, and their care-team.

 

Caregivers and patients living with chronic or complex health conditions use Zamplo to track and organize all their health information in one accessible place including medication, personal medical notes and contact information, symptoms and more. People using the app also have the opportunity to connect with medical researchers across the globe working on new treatments, trials and research for some of society’s most challenging health issues. This provides researchers with global access to potential trial participants, and in return participants keep a copy of all of their research data, a feature unique to Zamplo.

“Since participant databases are often owned by organizations conducting specific trials, recruiting enough participants for a clinical trial to proceed can be the largest hurdle medical researchers face,” says Utkarsh Subnis, Senior Medical Science Liaison for Zamplo. “Because Zamplo provides users with the option to securely share information about their medical conditions, the app then becomes a valuable tool for researchers to find potential participants.”

Zamplo recently partnered with radiation oncologists Dr. Philp Wong and Dr. Aisling Barry of the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto for a study testing wearable technologies used by the Canadian and American space agencies to evaluate quality of life, treatment response and estimation of life span in palliative patients. Participants in the study will also be asked to record their health symptoms, data and scans in the secure Zamplo platform, which will provide the researchers with real-time data and make it easy to connect with the patients remotely. Features such as My Health Routines help patients and their caregivers record medication doses, symptom severity and health data quickly and easily, providing very robust and high quality data to researchers.

“The Zamplo research tool will help us improve our understanding of the patient experience as they progress through palliative care,” says Dr. Wong. “This is an area that needs far more research and with a remote digital tool such as Zamplo it’s easier for our patients to participate in the study from any location, share information with us quickly and feel more connected to the work we’re doing.”
