CHAPEL HILL, NC--(Marketwire - December 4, 2008) - ThotWave Technologies, the leader in Life Sciences Business Intelligence, announced today that it has joined the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC), the definitive independent medical and biopharmaceutical standards organization.

"In the past decade, ThotWave has served an impressive list of customers in the healthcare, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries," said Terek Peterson, Director of Clinical Programming at Octagon Research Solutions, Inc. "With their knowledge and experience in biomedical research and their innovation in business intelligence, the industry will enjoy the fruits of this relationship for years to come."

A participant in the life sciences industry since 1995, ThotWave will volunteer its resources to support CDISC through customer implementations of the data standards as well as serve on working groups -- particularly in the areas that fall at the intersection between health care delivery and biomedical research. ThotWave will develop software to support the structured protocol representation, the BRIDG model (HL7 and CDISC integration) and clinical data integration (SDTM and ADaM).

Greg Nelson, President and CEO of ThotWave Technologies, LLC offered, "For many years, ThotWave has made valuable contributions to helping companies modernize their clinical trials processes and technologies. These efforts have often included supporting the long-range vision for how processes could evolve to streamline clinical data flows and the use of metadata.
