CLEVELAND, Nov. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- DATATRAK International, Inc. (OTCQX: DATA), a technology and services company focused on global eClinical solutions for the clinical trials industry, today announced translation of DATATRAK ONE to Simplified Chinese for use in the Chinese market. Together, with CRO Connect Partner Tigermed, DATATRAK deployed its randomization and inventory supply management product, uIRT, in its first Chinese-only study.
"We are glad to work with DATATRAK and deploy its IRT product for the first time in local language for a clinical trial in China," commented Wen Chen, Tigermed Vice President of Business Development. "This language enhancement is a demonstration of DATATRAK's commitment to build its presence in the data management product category and improve the end-user experience in a fast growing emerging market.
