eClinical Solutions LLC, a global leader in digital clinical software and data management services, announced two significant achievements underscoring its commitment to advancing data science innovation. At the 2025 Society for Clinical Data Management (SCDM) Annual Conference, the company’s elluminate Assist, a generative AI-powered assistant embedded within the elluminate Clinical Data Cloud®, received the SCDM Innovation Award for Advancements in Health Insight Generation. In addition, Dawn Kaminski, Vice President of Business Development Operations at eClinical Solutions, was reelected to the SCDM Board and will serve as Executive Secretary for 2026.
These recognitions mark another milestone in eClinical Solutions’ mission to modernize how clinical data is managed, interpreted, and applied in clinical research. As the industry increasingly embraces artificial intelligence (AI) to address operational bottlenecks, eClinical Solutions continues to stand at the forefront, developing innovative platforms that transform complex data into actionable insights.
AI Innovation Driving Data Transformation
The award-winning elluminate Assist represents a breakthrough in how researchers, clinical data managers, and biopharma organizations interact with clinical data. The solution functions as a generative AI text-to-SQL chatbot within Data Central, the elluminate platform’s comprehensive data workbench. Using natural language processing, elluminate Assist allows users to pose questions in everyday language, automatically generating the necessary queries to access and analyze structured trial data.
By removing the technical barriers of programming or manual data extraction, elluminate Assist enables faster, more intuitive data exploration. This innovation is particularly valuable for sponsors and contract research organizations (CROs) striving to optimize timelines and improve data quality during clinical trials. It provides a self-service interface that reduces reliance on programming teams, increases collaboration across departments, and accelerates time-to-insight—a key metric in today’s competitive drug development landscape.
“Receiving this award is a testament to the incredible dedication of our team in developing an AI-driven solution that empowers users to interact with data more naturally and efficiently,” said Raj Indupuri, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of eClinical Solutions. “Our focus remains on building technology that not only accelerates decision-making but also enhances data integrity and reliability across every stage of clinical development. Through innovations like elluminate Assist and leadership contributions such as Dawn’s ongoing work with SCDM, we are helping shape the future of clinical data science.”
Industry Shift from AI Experimentation to Application
The company’s 2025 Industry Outlook Report reinforces the importance of this innovation. According to the report, 72% of clinical research organizations are moving beyond AI pilot programs and actively integrating artificial intelligence into their data operations. However, the study also revealed that nearly all face challenges related to process and governance, rather than technical implementation. These findings highlight the industry’s growing need for robust data management frameworks capable of supporting real-world AI applications while maintaining regulatory compliance and quality assurance.
The recognition of elluminate Assist by SCDM underscores the solution’s alignment with this industry evolution—bridging the gap between technological potential and operational execution. By simplifying data access and improving analytical agility, eClinical Solutions is helping organizations adapt to a data ecosystem that demands both speed and precision.
Leadership Recognition and Continued Industry Impact
Alongside the company’s technology recognition, Dawn Kaminski’s reelection to the SCDM Board further cements eClinical Solutions’ influence within the global clinical data community. A seasoned expert with decades of experience in clinical data management, technology integration, and operational optimization, Kaminski has played an instrumental role in guiding organizations toward smarter, more sustainable data strategies.
As Executive Secretary of the SCDM Board for 2026, Kaminski will contribute to shaping global standards in data quality, governance, and innovation. Her leadership aligns closely with SCDM’s mission to strengthen the discipline of clinical data science through collaboration, research, and education.
“SCDM continues to be a cornerstone of progress within the global clinical data science community,” Kaminski said. “It’s an honor to continue serving this organization and to collaborate with peers and innovators dedicated to improving the quality and efficiency of clinical trials. Together, we can redefine how data science supports the delivery of safer, more effective treatments to patients around the world.”
Defining the Future of Clinical Data Science
Both the SCDM Innovation Award and Kaminski’s board appointment underscore eClinical Solutions’ dual impact—pioneering advanced data technologies while actively contributing to the professional and ethical development of the industry. The company’s elluminate Clinical Data Cloud® continues to be a cornerstone for digital transformation in clinical research, providing organizations with the flexibility to integrate, manage, and analyze vast volumes of trial data in real time.
Through its ongoing commitment to AI innovation, data integrity, and industry collaboration, eClinical Solutions is not only responding to the evolving needs of biopharmaceutical companies but also helping shape the next era of digital clinical research.
“Recognition from a respected organization like SCDM validates the progress we’re making,” Indupuri added. “Our focus remains steadfast—empowering data professionals to leverage cutting-edge technology and creating a future where clinical insights are delivered with greater speed, clarity, and confidence.”
As the clinical research landscape becomes increasingly data-driven, eClinical Solutions stands as a trusted partner and technology leader, championing the integration of human expertise and artificial intelligence to accelerate the path from data to discovery.
