Overview

Kestrel removes the technical barriers standing between medical researchers and discovery with a cloud-based, fully managed EDC (electronic data capture) platform.

Free Consultation

Kestrel can be deployed within 48 hours and is designed to work with the growing array of data capture devices and methods; mobile apps, wearables, kiosks, BLE devices, monitors.  Kestrel is powering research studies at the University of Michigan and Michigan Medicine, with much faster setup times, maximizing the impact of grant money, and accelerating their ability to secure more grants.

Why Kestrel Medical

Pursue research and advancements in care with zero energy or time wasted on solving the DevOps, infotech security, and compliance puzzles.

We discovered a persistent problem while working with researchers and clinicians at the University of Michigan and Michigan Medicine. Each new study required an exhaustive, time-consuming process to set up a secure, HIPAA-compliant data environment. On average, set-up can take up to 90 days and requires the researcher to invest time and energy into IT issues. So we developed Kestrel, a turn-key data environment that can be deployed in 48 hours.

Researchers were also frustrated by the challenges of easily incorporating some of the new data collecting devices into their studies; smartphone apps, wearable devices like smartwatches, BLE devices, and kiosks.  Kestrel was designed to easily link to any data source the researcher would like to use, freeing them to collect participant data in more creative and inventive ways.
