QD Connect

QD Solutions • 2023-present • mobile app

QD Connect is a mobile app designed to support participants enrolled in long-term clinical research trials by helping them understand their study, track their progress, and prepare for upcoming visits.

The previous web-based Digital Participant Resource Guide was static and difficult to navigate, and lacked core functionality (like adding appointments). We saw an opportunity to reimagine this guide into a mobile app that would be personalized, intuitive, and encourage participant retention in clinical trials.

Workflow Hub

QD Solutions • 2024-2025 • web

Our agency was looking to find workflow efficiencies, reduce manual input errors, and prevent oversights in billing. We needed a solution that was highly customizable, and that would work with our current billing process.

Clinical Trial Recruitment

QD Solutions • 2025 • web

A pharmaceutical company needed a recruitment website that could be easily adapted to fit a variety of Phase I clinical trials. The first trial had three target demographics with different participation requirements, so the landing pages needed consistency while still speaking to each demographic. Screening questionnaires needed to be flexible and adaptable.
