WARSAW, POLAND - Oct 14, 2014 - KCR Date Forecaster, first mobile application by KCR, European Contract Research Organization, provides patients with smart scheduling and automatic reminders for doctors appointments and medical examinations

Efficient handling of appointments by patients has never been that simple

KCR Date Forecaster is an extremely useful tool for patients involved in clinical trials, as well as undergoing medical treatment. The app allows to calculate the date of next visit and send a reminder before the appointment. Users might also add their doctors names, check-up precautions or any additional information.

KCR Corporate Social Responsibility commitment has inspired us to develop a practical tool for patients who participate in clinical trials. Tapping into the potential of the smartphones era, KCR offers a simple app, which is combining functionalities of notebook and reminder device at the same time. It makes handling doctors appointments extremely simple, said Mike Jagielski, President and CEO of KCR.

KCR Date Forecaster is envisaged to increase patients compliance and easy follow up in a clinical study, what is crucial for investigators to conduct the trial successfully. This is another step on the KCRs innovation ladder and we are satisfied that it has been made, he added.

KCR Date Forecaster includes holiday calculators for 38 countries, so it will perfectly suit the needs of patients worldwide, and prevent making appointments on ones day off, Saturdays or Sundays. The interface and navigation is very simple and intuitive.

At KCR we understand the burden of illness and ongoing treatment. Being a patient in clinical trials includes keeping track of numerous appointments, dozens of medical records and plethora of procedures. We do believe that KCR Date Forecaster will be of considerable help for patients who want to efficiently handle their calendars, and therefore support investigators by improved patients retention, summarized Mr. Jagielski.

The new application is designed for iOS platform and available for iPhone and iPad, and can be downloaded for free through Apple iTunes App Store.
