CNS Clinical Trials

CNS endpoints fail quietly—through missed diaries, device drop-off, cognitive fatigue, and inconsistent routines. Delve prevents that.

CNS studies live and die between visits: fluctuations in sleep, activity, gait, tremor, cognition, mood, and adherence. Delve combines CRO-style execution with a real-time compliance operating model—wearables + eCOA/ePRO + concierge follow-through + kit logistics + live oversight—so you get usable evidence, not just collected data.

Designed for CNS realities

More than a platform—an operational model that protects the endpoint.

CNS endpoint integrity depends on continuous capture and consistent routines. Delve monitors wearable signal health, rescues adherence drift, and documents interventions—before missingness becomes the headline.

Why Delve

CNS trials are not “visit-managed.” They are variability-managed.

CNS data deteriorates through day-to-day friction: participants forget, fatigue accumulates, devices desync, and symptoms fluctuate outside clinic windows. Delve closes these gaps by owning adherence operations and wearable telemetry— continuously, not retrospectively.

Traditional CRO

Strong at visits and monitoring

  • Site oversight and monitoring cadence
  • Templates, plans, and reporting structure
  • Issue escalation after findings emerge
  • Limited ownership between visits

Risk: CNS variability and wearable drop-off accumulate quietly; the signal degrades before anyone intervenes.

CRO + point tools

More tools, more gaps

  • Separate vendors for wearables, ePRO, reminders, logistics
  • Disconnected data streams and unclear accountability
  • Sites absorb troubleshooting and follow-up
  • QC happens after weeks of drift

Risk: missingness becomes the story, not the endpoint.

Delve delivery model

Owned compliance + owned wearable telemetry

  • Live wear-time, sync, and signal health visibility
  • Concierge team intervenes when drift appears
  • Protocol-driven adherence rules + escalation pathways
  • Evidence trails: what happened, actions taken, outcome

Outcome: higher usable data yield, fewer deviations, lower site burden, stronger retention.

CNS Evidence Chain

Wearables + eCOA + interventions = usable CNS endpoints.

CNS endpoints are sensitive to missingness and day-to-day variability. Delve closes the loop with telemetry, quality gates, and documented interventions when the chain breaks.

Wearable Telemetry ePRO Symptoms QC Quality gates Alert Intervene Endpoint Usable data
Wearables: wear-time, sync success, signal drop, sleep/activity/gait proxies
eCOA/ePRO: cognition, mood, fatigue, sleep QoL, symptom events, caregiver inputs
Interventions: concierge troubleshooting, coaching, replacements, escalation to sites

How We Engage

Flexible models—from prime execution to CRO integration.

Full-Service CNS Delivery (Prime)

Delve leads execution end-to-end with a CNS operating model built around continuous monitoring, adherence rescue, and protocol-defined interventions. Specialty functions can be delivered directly or through Delve-led partners as scoped.

  • Start-up + site coordination
  • Wearables + eCOA + patient operations
  • Real-time QC + compliance + retention ownership

Hybrid With Your CRO

Keep your CRO for monitoring/EDC and plug Delve in as the wearable + adherence + patient operations layer. We reduce missingness, improve device adherence, and provide live risk visibility.

  • Delve owns telemetry, compliance ops, and concierge support
  • Protocol-driven alerts + escalation pathways
  • Cleaner datasets at lock with fewer late-cycle fixes

Site Network Enablement

We offload the most time-consuming CNS follow-up work—device troubleshooting, diary completion outreach, reminders, and re-training—so sites can focus on assessments and enrollment.

  • Coordinator relief: onboarding, reminders, rescheduling
  • Device replacements and patient coaching
  • Study-wide oversight dashboards for networks

Live Metrics (Example)

What sponsors and study teams see in Delve.

These are example visuals to demonstrate how we monitor wearable adherence, ePRO completion, and signal health in real time. Your study’s dashboards reflect your protocol, schedules, and site structure.

Wear-time trend with interventions

Markers indicate documented interventions (coaching, replacements, troubleshooting) that prevent drift.

Signal health (sync success)

Telemetry surfaces connectivity and dropouts early so teams can recover data within protocol windows.

Diary completion by site

Sites with higher friction get proactive concierge support and targeted retraining workflows.

Protocol-to-Analysis

End-to-end CNS delivery—mapped to real failure points.

“End-to-end” means ownership with evidence trails—from protocol operationalization and wearable selection through compliance rescue, data QC, and analysis readiness.

CNS Capabilities

Execution built for CNS realities.

Wearables that survive the real world

CNS endpoints often require continuous capture. We operationalize wear-time, telemetry monitoring, and replacements.

  • Device provisioning, training, and replacements
  • Signal health monitoring: battery, sync, connectivity
  • Wear-time estimation + compliance rescue workflows

Patient burden management

CNS participants face fatigue, cognition load, and fluctuating symptoms. Delve prevents dropout by simplifying routines.

  • Protocol-driven reminders and micro-coaching
  • Concierge support for confusion and friction
  • Caregiver workflows where needed (as scoped)

Objective + subjective data, reconciled

Wearable signals and ePRO must align to be interpretable. We monitor missingness and document intervention context.

  • eCOA/ePRO for mood, cognition, fatigue, sleep, QoL
  • QC checks and missingness rules (as scoped)
  • Audit-ready intervention trails to explain variability

Deliverables

What you receive when Delve runs CNS execution.

  • Operational study plan + CNS execution risk register
  • Wearables plan: provisioning, telemetry monitoring, replacement SOP
  • Adherence plan: wear-time + sync + ePRO routines + scripts
  • Data quality plan: QC checks, missingness rules, reconciliation approach
  • Weekly risk report: compliance, retention, device health, site performance
  • Close-out evidence package: intervention logs, adherence summary, QC outcomes

From daily behavior to analysis-ready evidence

CNS studies don’t fail because the endpoint is unclear. They fail because the routine breaks. Delve operationalizes wearable adherence, reduces burden, and documents interventions—so your datasets are usable.

  • Continuous telemetry and missingness surveillance across devices and ePRO
  • Documented interventions (what happened, when, why, outcome)
  • Reconciliation across digital sources and exports (as scoped)
  • Readiness support for interim looks and endpoint reviews (as scoped)

If you already have DM/biostats partners, Delve strengthens the operational evidence chain without replacing your stack.

Planning a CNS study?

If your endpoints depend on consistent behavior between visits—wearables, diaries, sleep capture, symptom reporting—Delve is built to protect that evidence chain. We can lead end-to-end execution or integrate with your CRO to improve compliance and retention.
