Web Application for Clinical Research Organization

Our client, ACRO India, is an organization established under the aegis of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) to bring Clinical Research Organizations (CROs) across India onto a common platform. Founded in 2005, ACRO aims to promote quality research, uphold ethical practices, share industry best practices and represent the interests of Indian CROs at regional, national and international levels.

To ensure research integrity and prevent duplicate volunteer participation across multiple studies, ACRO India partnered with Nichetech to develop a centralized web application for volunteer registration and participation management.
