Thank you for your interest in QuesGen Systems. QuesGen Systems works personally with investigators to develop custom applications for managing clinical research data. QuesGen is a web-based, hosted application that enables study teams to collect, store, update, monitor and query research data with ease, improving the quality of data collected, decreasing data entry time, and allowing researchers to effortlessly track a study’s progress in real-time.

From QuesGen founder, Mike Jarrett:

How we got here: After a 20-year career in the high-tech and systems development world, I started this company with the mission of providing reasonable cost, web-based data management for clinical research How I came to this was through doing several small consulting projects at UCSF (University of California, San Francisco). Most of my career has been spent in management of a variety of high-technology companies. In 2003, an old friend and clinical investigator recommended me to a colleague of his for help managing data being collected for a medical research study. After doing that, I was referred to another and then another, ultimately realizing that there was a significant need.

Product Vision: As I started looking at the systems I was building (the initial applications were mostly built in MS Access), I realized that they had a lot in common, even though the focus of the studies was very different. They all had basic needs: strong security, an easily-accessed audit trail, roles-based permissions, and standard tables and forms for patient, exam and medication data. Accessibility via the Internet was either a requirement or a strong advantage. Also, the investigators with whom I worked with really wanted to understand the data model and how the variables were structured. It was with this vision that we began building the product that we have today. Our specialized team of developers worked along side investigators to produce the product that we have today.

Typical Projects: Most of our projects run for several years, and typically track the outcomes of several thousand subjects. We have worked on observational studies, quality improvement projects (same discipline as a research study of fixed duration, but typically on-going) and clinical trials of varying complexity.
