Digital Trials Digest, our quarterly newsletter
The rapid expansion of the clinical research market in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has opened up significant prospects for carrying out decentralized clinical trials there.
Unstructured data collection from image capture technology can be harnessed to improve the quality of patient-reported data and serve as the bedrock for the training of new algorithms that can help clinicians more accurately diagnose disease.
Enhancing Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes with digital instruments streamlines and accelerates data collection, making clinical trials more accessible.
This study collected and compared stool ratings from caregivers (Group A), central raters (Group B), and pediatric gastroenterologists (Group C) to discover whether the level of stool consistency of a given photo is more prone to inter-rater variability. The study's results evidence inter-rater variability that is different across Bristol Stool Scale (BSS), which motivates research into standardized training or automated scoring, with a special emphasis on BSS.
Moving into 2022, decentralized models, propelled by breakthroughs in digital technology, will continue to reshape the industry, improving trial outcomes.
Expectations for the time it takes to complete a vaccine clinical trial have been radically raised by the mRNA vaccines’ successes.
Decentralized trials (DCTs) expand older adults’ access to trials, allowing them to participate at higher rates.
Digital transformation is reshaping nearly every industry, and clinical trials are no exception. As technology plays a bigger role in healthcare, patients are demanding more access to medical research. It’s not just patients who are asking for more: Medical professionals, researchers, and pharmaceutical companies all want to improve quality, efficiency, and access to clinical trials.
The use of real world data in clinical trials is a hot topic. Doctors, biotech and pharmaceutical companies alike point to the tremendous potential to leverage this data to improve health outcomes.
Virtual clinical trials aren’t just a buzzword—these research models are here to stay. In fact, the global market for virtual clinical trials is expected to reach $12.9 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research.
