A New World
In recent years, technology has transformed the way clinical research is conducted. The storage of statistical data has evolved from filing cabinets to vast networks, allowing for secondary and tertiary analysis beyond a researcher's given protocol. Inarius Inc. is at the forefront of custom research software design and deployment. Our applications have helped many of Canada's top medical research programs by providing high-end software with unparalleled access to secondary analysis, even allowing analysis based on geographic and socio-economic conditions. Inarius Inc. has pioneered initiatives in custom research software that provide clinics a low-impact method of collecting accurate data, while giving researchers an unparalleled ability to analyze that data, even allowing them to interface with databases from Stats Canada and the US Census Department. We can even provide geographic mapping of data, either existing or newly collected.  

Research Software
The debate over the merits of computerized data collection has long been settled. Traditional methods involving data gathered by hand and amassed in huge filing rooms have proven to be slow and tedious, and worse, they have often proven to be inaccurate and incomplete. Like other mediums of the past, filing cabinet research has been supplanted by database technology and high speed data processing. Custom research software can, among other things, increase the scope of a clinical trial from a single location to the entire world without increasing the cost by a similar factor. A custom software solution can also offer unique features that help ensure the success of any research initiative. The following features are often included in Inarius Inc. projects:  

Data Collection
Accurate data collection is the first step in any successful clinical trial or research initiative. By tailoring the user-interface to a specific set of protocols, Inarius Inc. software allows data collection to be completely rigorous, while still remaining easy for end-users to work with. Researchers can then use industry-standard tools to analyze data, or in the alternative, custom reports, queries, and analysis can be provided by Inarius Inc.. The cost of re-analyzing data under new criteria is also drastically reduced, by eliminating the need for tedious and old-fashioned manual techniques. Custom data collection software reduces personnel costs while greatly increasing the accuracy of analysis. 

Protocol Adherence
Inarius Inc. software solutions allow for unparalleled protocol adherence. Manual collection methods rely on human input and are therefore often prone to error. By implementing custom data-collection software tailored to your protocols by Inarius Inc., one minimizes the potential of human error and ensures the kind of rigorous data collection required for relevant analysis.   

Secondary and Tertiary Analysis
One of the most frustrating challenges faced by researchers is the difficulty in performing secondary and tertiary analysis of data, based on conclusions drawn from primary analysis. What could be more natural than thinking, “We’ve learned x from our initial research. Wouldn’t it be interesting to investigate y based on what we learned?” With manual methods, the simplest queries can often involve research nurses pulling binders, with costs in the tens of thousands of dollars. Inarius Inc. implements research software solutions that make that type of analysis not just possible, but easy. Even secondary data sources, such as Stats Canada and the US Census Department, can be included in data correlation.  

Geographic Mapping
When conducting a research that involves people, it is often extremely useful to be able to present data in the form of maps. Inarius Inc. can implement solutions that allow researchers instant access to demographic information by region. In less time-sensitive areas, Inarius Inc. can provide one-off mapping of data on a consulting basis. Beyond simple geographic mapping, socio-economic factors such as income, racial distribution, work types and others can be included in mapped data. Easily navigable and highly functional, geographic mapping is one more feature that gives real, understandable meaning to research.  

Why Inarius?
Effectively using technology has become essential to providing meaningful, significant research. Clinical studies and research initiatives that involve custom software will always have an advantage over those that rely on methods of the past. Inarius Inc. has a proven track record in providing researchers that advantage.
