Claralix is a regulatory information management platform for health product authorities. Sponsors submit through a single gateway. Your secretariat screens, assigns and corresponds. Assessors work structured questions. Committees decide, and the decision writes itself to the register. Licences, inspections, variations and fees continue on the same record.
This project aims to increase clinical trial investments in Africa by enhancing the visibility of African clinical trialists and research sites — and providing transparent access to country-specific regulatory and ethics procedures for sponsors.
The EDCTP Alumni Network connects EDCTP Fellows and the wider research community — profiling every fellow across 32+ African countries, tracking career progress and measuring the impact of the fellowship programme.
Kronus unifies study and site management, eTMF, eISF, quality management, learning management and workflow automation — with real-time reporting throughout. Simplify operations, improve collaboration and keep every stage of the trial inspection-ready.
A hybrid, secure platform that functions as eSource, Electronic Case Report Form (eCRF) or a Patient Support Program (PSP) solutions, eliminating data transcription and dramatically improving accuracy. Configurable through a front-end interface, no code required.

About

For the past two decades, I’ve voluntarily stationed myself at the complex intersection of enterprise tech, clinical data, and healthcare innovation - a place where acronyms and buzzwords go to multiply. As the co-founder and CEO of nuvoteQ, my day job consists of convincing research teams that their trials can, in fact, be modernised. We achieve this through our FDA and EU-validated SaaS platforms, Nukleus and Kronus. Yes, they sound like rogue AI from a dystopian novel, but I assure you they are strictly programmed to handle global research data, not world domination. My thinly veiled ulterior motive is forcing the rest of the world to recognise Africa as a clinical research powerhouse. To that end, I spend my free time on the Clinical Trial Community Platform (ctc.africa), pointing a very large, unavoidable spotlight at the continent’s undeniable talent and untapped capabilities.

Before resorting to serial entrepreneurship, I survived the character-building trenches of massive Oracle enterprise implementations and held leadership roles at iOCO. Because I harbour a deep aversion to free time, I also helped launch Scigenix.ai (an AI-focused data consulting firm, because it's the 2020s and you have to) and the nuvoteQ Foundation, which backs impact-driven initiatives across Africa. Armed with IT and Business degrees from UP and UNISA, I’ve spoken at enough acronym-heavy industry forums (e.g., CPHIA, GHCC, ACDM, SCDM, ISCR, WHO, and EDCTP) to permanently damage my internal spellchecker. On a serious note, assisting with India’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout remains a career highlight - mostly because it was a high-stakes reminder that technology can actually serve a much bigger purpose than optimising ad clicks.
