NEW YORK -- Medidata, a Dassault Systèmes brand and leading provider of clinical trial solutions to the life sciences industry, announced the launch of Medidata Patient Payments, a new solution that streamlines trial-related stipends and reimbursements for patients participating in clinical research. This offering automates the payment lifecycle and addresses the longstanding challenge of compensating participants for their time, effort, and study-related expenses, while solving for growing concerns around the financial toxicity of clinical trial encounters.

Medidata Patient Payments delivers an intuitive reimbursement experience for patients, allowing them to quickly submit requests for various expenses, including travel, meals, lodging, lost wages, childcare, and mileage. Leveraging the power of the Medidata Platform, stipends are automatically triggered by study activities, such as completing a diary or assessment, offering flexibility and convenience. This integrated approach provides a smooth process, supporting quick implementation and accommodating the preferences of both patients and study sites.

“Our Patient Payments solution is a direct reflection of the commitment and passion we have to deliver an extraordinary patient experience,” said Meghan Harrington, vice president, Clinical Trial Financial Management, Medidata. “Our partnerships with Medidata’s patient and site advisory boards, coupled with the incomparable data housed within our ecosystem, provides us with a unique opportunity to modernize the financial management experience for patients.”

Patient Payments, built on the widely adopted Medidata Platform, offers seamless access via myMedidata for patients and iMedidata accounts for sponsors and sites. Unlike standalone options, it is part of a comprehensive e-clinical suite, enabling robust integration and actionable insights throughout the study lifecycle.
