CLINICAL TRIAL PATIENT TECHNOLOGY INSIGHTS

  • Drawing on evidence from scientific literature, we examine the pitfalls that have hindered its success and propose actionable solutions to unlock its true value in clinical research.

  • Participant-focused eClinical technologies offer significant potential to decrease paper-based processes and improve end-user experiences in collecting patient-reported outcomes (PRO) and informed consent, but many users continue to experience rigid technology, complicated hardware provisioning processes, and clunky implementations that leave sponsors, CROs and sites questioning the value. 

  • Given study decentralization and the many electronic sources of data now available, it is time for sponsors and contract research organizations to face the inevitable: EDCs need to be “sunsetted.”
