PPD Patient Profiles software (formerly CrossGraphs) enables you to visualize patient data from clinical trials. It displays patient data along a common time axis together with notes and highlights to facilitate medical review. Leading pharmaceutical companies use PPD Patient Profiles to provide insight into drug safety and efficacy trends, and track unusual values and other relationships within patient data. PPD Patient Profiles works directly with clinical data sources (such as SAS®, Oracle® Clinical, and Clintrial) and shortens the time it takes to generate graphical reports. When reports display, users point and click on any data item to view underlying information.

Examples of our graphical reports can be viewed below.  [Click images to enlarge them]  For a more detailed overview, see our PPD Patient Profiles Overview or contact us for a presentation over the web.
