6. Forget More Clinical Tech, We Need More Adoption 2/23/2026

   At SCOPE Summit, Craig Lipset shared a blunt assessment of clinical trial innovation: the tools exist, regulators are engaged, and digital approaches offer clear quality advantages — yet adoption remains the industry’s biggest hurdle. From evolving FDA inspection expectations to the normalization (and lingering misconceptions) of decentralized trials, Lipset argues progress will depend less on new technology and more on scaling what already works.
