# CASE STUDY

Digital vs. analog documentation for self-injections – Camovis provides reality check in simulation study

## Summary

Camovis participated in a recent simulation study with a full team of Research Professionals, providing not only operational support but also valuable insights from everyday clinical practice. The aim of the study was to simulate the use of an autoinjector for subcutaneous self-injection while simultaneously comparing two documentation methods: traditional paper-based recording vs. a new digital app.

## Realistic study workflow

The study was conducted in a controlled yet practical setting, with trained actors playing the role of patients who (simulated) injecting themselves with medication using an auto-injector. An injection pad with artificial skin was used. The accompanying documentation was carried out in parallel in analog and digital form.

Camovis was on site with a total of 12 Research Professionals:  
→ 6 Study Nurses who guided the patients and accompanied them through the self-injection process   
→ 6 Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) who carried out monitoring, data collection, and evaluation

Following the simulation runs, both the Study Nurses and the CRAs were asked:

- How did they perceive the process using the digital vs. analog version?
- Which approach was more practical, easier to follow, or more prone to errors?
- Where do they see opportunities for real-world study applications?

The processes were time-tracked, video-recorded, and systematically evaluated.

 

## Practice instead of theory

In clinical research, new systems are often developed without involving operational staff. This study was different: Feedback from Study Nurses and Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) was an explicit part of the study design and shows how valuable practical feedback can be in the development of clinical tools.

Camovis provides the ideal setup: experienced Research Professionals, in-depth study knowledge, and a perspective grounded in real-world operational experience.
