Key features of ARM

ARM leverages the pioneering Subjective Health Experience (SHE) model—a state-of-the-art behavioral science framework meticulously designed to decode, predict, and proactively support patient adherence. By zeroing in on critical drivers such as acceptance and perceived control, ARM delivers continuously personalized, adaptive support that evolves in lockstep with each patient’s unique health journey.

Essential Features of ARM:

  • ARM Risk Profiles: At enrollment, every participant receives a comprehensive adherence risk assessment, generating a personalized profile. This empowers care teams to anticipate obstacles and deliver highly targeted, proactive interventions long before adherence issues arise.
  • Truly Individualized Engagement: ARM crafts every patient interaction—from content to timing and delivery—around the individual’s real-time needs and preferences. Each touchpoint is relevant, meaningful, and designed to foster maximum engagement and positive outcomes.
  • Continuous, Real-Time Monitoring: The platform intelligently tracks shifts in patient behaviors and attitudes, instantly refining support strategies to keep individuals motivated, engaged, and on course with their prescribed treatment.
  • Immediate Alerts for High-Risk Patients: When heightened risk of non-adherence is detected, ARM instantly notifies the clinical trial team. This enables timely, focused intervention—ensuring patients get the support they need precisely when it matters most.

With ARM, clinical studies are equipped to deliver smarter, faster, and more effective support, transforming adherence from a challenge into a sustained advantage—one patient at a time.

The ARM approach

Discover the next generation of patient engagement and adherence with the ARM approach—PACE Clinical’s revolutionary, in-house methodology powered by a cutting-edge SaaS digital platform. ARM fuses state-of-the-art technology with behavioral science to redefine how clinical studies empower, connect, and support patients throughout their health journeys.

Seamless, secure access is at your fingertips via an intuitive web portal and a user-friendly smartphone app—compatible with both iOS and Android. Whether you’re a patient or a member of a trial team, ARM ensures continuous, meaningful connection at every stage.

From day one, our expert consultancy services provide tailored guidance, ensuring a smooth deployment and transformative platform experience from initial onboarding through ongoing optimization. Every clinical trial benefits from dedicated support, strategic insights, and a pathway to measurable success.

The ARM smartphone app and patient web portal serve as powerful hubs for dynamic risk assessment, personalized support delivery, and direct communication with clinical sites. For sponsors and site personnel, the robust back-office portal offers real-time, actionable intelligence—pinpointing individuals who require urgent attention and mapping adherence risk trends across the entire trial landscape. Integration with advanced eCOA/ePRO technology, or third-party platforms, guarantees seamless, objective clinical outcome data capture and analysis.

Once tailored for a specific trial and equipped with personalized, evidence-based informational modules, the ARM platform springs into action:

  • At enrollment, each patient receives a comprehensive adherence risk profile, laying the groundwork for proactive and highly targeted support.
  • As protocol milestones are reached, ARM delivers timely, relevant modules to each participant—keeping patients informed, engaged, and motivated.
  • Regular check-ins through the app closely monitor adherence risks, ensuring challenges are rapidly identified and addressed.
  • Driven by real-time data, every patient receives tailored digital support that evolves in sync with their unique needs. At critical moments, patients are invited to share feedback on their trial experience, fueling continuous improvement and ever-more personalized care.
  • When linked with eCOA/ePRO technologies, ARM streamlines patient-reported outcome collection, enhancing both trial integrity and patient satisfaction.

Behind the scenes, the back-office portal tracks adherence in real time, offering unparalleled insights into:

  • The evolving landscape of adherence risks throughout the clinical trial
  • The tangible impact of ARM interventions on both adherence and clinical outcomes, powered by robust eCOA/ePRO data
  • Emerging trends in patient experience and proactive identification of individuals who need immediate, personalized support—reducing early drop-out and maximizing trial retention

With ARM, at-risk patients are spotlighted and supported before challenges escalate, empowering timely interventions that safeguard both individual well-being and trial success. This digital-first strategy not only drives superior adherence and engagement but also lightens the administrative load for site staff—freeing them to focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional patient care.

Also applicable in clinical care

A core challenge separates the world of clinical studies from the realities of everyday clinical care: clinical trials typically focus on one condition within the boundaries of a strict protocol, whereas real-world healthcare demands that professionals manage patients juggling multiple, often complex and overlapping conditions. In clinical practice, personalized therapies—combining various medications and medical devices—are essential for addressing each individual’s unique needs. Yet, despite the prevalence of multimorbidity, fewer than 5% of digital health technologies (DHTs) are specifically designed to serve patients with multiple chronic conditions, revealing a critical gap in digital health innovation and an enormous opportunity for transformative solutions.

ARM’s platform is engineered to bridge this gap. While our services are tailored to deliver outstanding support within clinical studies, the underlying architecture and data infrastructure are built for flexibility, enabling robust, scalable support for patients dealing with multimorbidity. Every clinical trial powered by ARM not only propels research forward but also enhances the platform—contributing new, specialized expertise for managing diverse conditions and treatments. Healthcare professionals can draw from this growing library of modular components, effortlessly combining them to create truly personalized care and support programs for each patient. This adaptable model ensures that support evolves in step with each patient’s journey, continually adjusting to changing health needs and improving outcomes in both clinical research and real-world care.

Ready for ARM and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not just accelerating change—it’s fundamentally reshaping healthcare and society in ways we could only imagine a few years ago. Once the backbone of pharmaceutical breakthroughs and intricate data analysis, AI now stands ready to redefine patient support and decision-making at every stage of clinical care. As regulatory and policy landscapes mature, a new era of ‘responsible’ AI is dawning—one rooted in trust, transparency, and ethical innovation, with direct and tangible benefits for patients, providers, and the broader healthcare ecosystem.

At the forefront of this transformation, PACE Clinical is pioneering an intelligent, adaptive ecosystem for patient support, seamlessly merging the power of AI with the latest advances in behavioral science. Our bold vision: to evolve the ARM platform into a truly dynamic digital companion—one that not only reacts but proactively anticipates patient needs. Picture a world where patients can interact naturally with empathetic, AI-powered avatars that intuitively understand their communication style, emotional state, and individual circumstances. Through advanced real-time predictive behavioral modeling and highly personalized, AI-generated content, the ARM platform delivers the right support, at the exact moment it’s needed, across every step of the clinical journey.

This innovative, interactive environment goes far beyond traditional engagement—fostering genuine connection, dramatically reducing early drop-out, and empowering clinical teams with real-time insights into patient adherence. The result? Targeted, timely interventions that safeguard patient well-being, maximize trial retention, and elevate the standard of care for all.
