Company Timeline

John Hudak started Criterium, Inc. in 1991 to fill the need for a more consistent, technology-based support of medical research. Using Interactive Voice Response (IVR), he created a new system for the real-time collection of patient diary data. This eliminated transcription errors ensuring accurate reporting.

Over time, Criterium, Inc. has widened the use and scope of state-of-the-art technologies in order to connect all stakeholders to real-time data sources. In addition to IVR, these technologies include Electronic Data Capture (EDC), Interactive Web Response (IWR), and Electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (ePRO). Obtaining data in real-time enables us to tightly control studies ensuring cost-effectiveness, and adherence to timelines.
