Automated Compliance
& Issue Detection

Automated compliance is not about alerts. It is about catching hardware failures, low battery, connectivity loss, missed entries, and physiological anomalies in the narrow window where recovery is still cheap — and routing each one to the resolver who can actually fix it.

Compliance Workflow

Detect → Triage → Resolve → Document

I think my device is broken — the dashboard isn't showing anything.
It looks like the watch hasn't synced in 36 hours. Let's get the app open together — should take a minute.
Catching this within the day means the protocol doesn't have a gap. Catching it at the next visit means it does.
Catch issues before they become gaps Detect + triage + resolve

What 'Automated Compliance' Really Means

In clinical trials, automated compliance is the operational layer that watches incoming wearable and ePRO data for trouble — hardware faults, low battery, connectivity drops, missed entries, physiological anomalies — and routes each issue to the resolver who can actually close it.

Automated compliance is the difference between knowing a problem exists and actually closing it.

Why Manual Compliance Quietly Fails

Most trials still review compliance manually, at weekly or monthly cadences. By then the recovery window has closed and the dataset is already different.

Weekly review cadence

Issues surface at review meetings, days or weeks after they happened.

Site burden

Sites are asked to chase compliance — but they don't have the time or visibility.

No routing

Alerts pile up without clear ownership; whoever sees the inbox first chases the loudest item.

Lost context

Issues that need device-side action and patient-side support get split across systems with no link between them.

Manual escalation

Escalation depends on a coordinator noticing — not on a rule that fires automatically.

No closure tracking

Without resolution tracking, the same issue can recur silently across the cohort.

Compliance is only useful when it closes the loop between detection and resolution.

Delve Automated Compliance vs Manual Review

Manual compliance review

  • Weekly / monthly cadence
  • Site-driven, time-boxed
  • Alerts without ownership
  • Split across systems
  • No closure tracking

Delve automated compliance

  • Continuous detection
  • Rule-based routing to the right resolver
  • Concierge + coordinator + logistics in one workflow
  • Resolution tracked through to closure
  • Cohort-level visibility for sponsors and sites

Automated compliance is what makes wearable + ePRO data trustworthy across the life of the study.

What a Strong Automated Compliance Layer Includes

Compliance layers that hold up under long-duration, multi-region trials are built around routing and closure — not just alerting.

Strong automated compliance closes the gap between noticing something is wrong and actually fixing it.

What Automated Compliance Catches

Detection runs against incoming streams continuously. Most signal-level issues surface within minutes; cohort-level rollups refresh on study-configured cadences.

Hardware failures

Device faults, firmware mismatches, sensor disconnects.

Battery & charging

Low-battery patterns, charging anomalies, missed charges.

Connectivity loss

Sync drift, app crashes, Bluetooth pairing failures.

Missed ePRO entries

Diary or questionnaire windows missed beyond protocol tolerance.

Physiological anomalies

Out-of-range or implausible values likely indicating sensor placement issues.

Wear-time gaps

Non-wear stretches breaching the protocol's compliance thresholds.

Every detection turns into a routed action — not just an alert in a queue.

FAQ

How fast is 'real-time' detection?

Most signal-level issues are detected within minutes of occurring; rolled-up adherence reports refresh on study-configured cadences. Specific latencies depend on the upstream device and app.

Can rules be configured per study?

Yes. Rules are tied to the protocol's own definitions of compliance and adherence — generic 'wear-time > X' thresholds aren't enough for endpoint-driven studies.

Where does a detected issue go?

Into the Compliance Engine workflow: in-app message to the patient, multilingual concierge outreach, coordinator task, or device-logistics task — whichever the rule and context dictate.

Catch Compliance Issues While They're Still Cheap to Fix

Delve combines continuous detection, rule-based routing, and closed-loop resolution into one compliance layer designed to protect wearable and ePRO data continuity across the life of the study.
