HTS: Clinical IVR Systems

The primary focus of HTS is the development of interactive voice response (IVR) systems for use in clinical evaluation and care.

HTS is the pioneer in developing and providing clinical interactive voice response (IVR) systems to collect data directly from patients for pharmaceutical companies, healthcare organizations, and researchers. Our experience validating computer-administered assessments spans three decades. We've published over 100 articles on the use of technology in this field. We provide dozens of scales, ranging from the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) to the McGill Pain Questionnaire to the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q). New scales can be created and validated as needed.

Our clinical IVR assessments are used by leading pharmaceutical companies to qualify study subjects for trial entry and collect efficacy, quality of life, pharmacoeconomic and patient diary information. We also develop IVR programs for education and self-help programs for depression.
