ABOUT US

BioInformatiCo is a Proudly South African Company

We emerged as a result of a strategic public-private collaboration forged with the South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC) amidst the challenging backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic.

BioInformatiCo is the appointed data management service provider for CoVPN3008 and CoVPN3008 TB sub study.

We are delighted to support the NIH-funded HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN), which was established to address the pressing need for HIV vaccines.

Our expertise encompasses the development of robust data quality processes for electronic Case Report Form (eCRF), data capture, clinical coding as well as the implementation of efficient data management and reconciliation processes, expediting real-time data quality improvement.

We create mobile friendly app-based data visualisation, bulk reporting and customised strategic leadership reports to ensure that data is always insight-ready and actionable.

We partner with study teams from protocol creation to understand the scientific questions being asked and implications for the data being collected. To assist in managing the data, we deliver customised electronic database design and set-up for ease of use, intelligent feedback and event alerts.
