Data collection made easy

As specialists in Delphi studies and sensitive data collection, our software helps academics to efficiently and securely obtain outcome data in trials, or get consensus in Delphi studies. No fiddly set-up work is needed - we get everything ready as it's needed and pilot with the academic team before going live.

Delphi studies

We help academics to design high-quality Delphi studies with low panel attrition. We increase research capacity by using our adaptable Delphi software to administer the study on behalf of teams, and we analyse responses and provide full inter-round and final reports.

EDC in trials and health studies

Our secure in-app and on-line managed solutions help academics and triallists collect data in health studies and trials, avoiding the need to pay for paper, postage, data entry, gaining higher response rates, while avoiding the need for any labour intensive set-up work or individual field encryption.

Routine data collection

Tried and tested methods to help professional bodies acquire feedback from stakeholder groups to ensure the quality of services delivered.

Clinvivo conducted and analysed an international Delphi study for us. Their service was timely, flexible, and of excellent standard. Rob’s expertise in the Delphi method was also instrumental in helping us design the Delphi. Clinvivo's electronic platform is slick and robust. They conducted the Delphi with great efficiency and produced very detailed reports that are reproducible and secure. We managed to achieve 100% retention across a 3-round Delphi thanks to their reminder system. Peer reviewers were also very impressed by this. Highly recommended!

Clinvivo conducted a large Delphi study for us. They were very professional and helpful and also really flexible. It helped that they understood the research process, as well as being able to do the programming to set the study up. When the study was up and running several people commented to us about the professional look of the on-line survey compared to others they had seen. I would highly recommend Clinvivo.

Sandra Eldridge, Professor of Biostatistics, Queen Mary University of London

Clinvivo helped us with an e-Delphi which sought the views of an international panel over three rounds. It certainly made the task much easier than trying to do it manually (which I have done in the past!). They provided an efficient service, nothing was too much trouble and they willingly accommodated our specific requests.

Hilary Pinnock, Reader, University of Edinburgh

Clinvivo ran the electronic questionnaire and data capture for a complex discrete choice experiment that was run with the University of Aberdeen. They provided timely advice and quick work on all requests, and managed the technical difficulties of accessing a diverse target group. Rob and the team were very accessible at all points of the project. Thank you!

Christopher Bassford, Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine, University Hospital Coventry

Clinvivo were central to organisation and delivery of a national survey of prostate cancer care in our recent NIHR programme development grant. The Clinvivo team were excellent in their support and efforts to tailor their service to exactly what we wanted for our primary research. Their electronic design and analysis services were very useful in achieving our research goals on time. We would be very pleased to work with them again in the future.

Liam Bourke, Reader, Sheffield Hallam University

Clinvivo developed tablet-based student surveys for our pilot trial in secondary schools. They were flexible, accommodating and always available to answer questions and provide support. It was clear throughout the project that Clinvivo's team is extremely dedicated to their work, to rigorous research methods and to data security. They were a pleasure to work with.

Rebecca Meiksin, Research Fellow in Social Science, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine

Clinvivo created a tool to enable real time analysis in a live discrete choice experiment. We really like the tool and we are impressed by how they managed to integrate statistical modelling in real time. The tool is cutting edge technology and we are excited to try it out - we don't know of anyone that has managed to run this kind of tool before.

The context in which treatment management decisions have been made is often unknown. A stated preference-elicitation method, known as a discrete choice experiment (DCE), permits the measurement and quantification of value attributes that inform decision-making. For example, consider being at a sporting event during an interval when many from the crowd wish to purchase food. Factors that people consider when deciding what to buy may include the type of food available from stands, the price, and the length of the queue. By presenting vignettes of each offer and queue length, and asking a person to choose between scenarios, the values assigned to food-type, cost, and queue length, can be quantified as a factor of each attribute. We could also make the design 'adaptive', so that the presented choices change depending on the selections made (e.g. if someone never chooses a salad bar option, that can be removed to focus on what matters more to that person).

Clinvivo's DCE software permits straight-forward DCE designs, as well as adaptive designs, and real-time analysis of responses. The software can be used in a browser, or in our DCE app, which can be installed on tablets for use in health care settings.
