Digital Trials Digest, our quarterly newsletter
Renovia needed a solution to evaluate the efficacy of its leva® Pelvic Health System for treating urinary incontinence, while ensuring ease of use for a busy female population. Of particular importance was enabling real-time symptom tracking and maintaining high patient engagement—without requiring in-person site visits.
In a recent study, we found that caregivers both underreported and overreported certain stool consistencies compared to clinician ratings. We need to make it easier for parents to report in clinical trials. See why digital image capture is an improved method for assessments of treatment efficacy and health status for pediatric GI research.
In the second of our two-part series, we explore how integrating mobile technology into study design can help attract and retain minorities and women as trial subjects.
With travel hampered and clinical trials disrupted, it’s difficult to conduct on-site clinical trial monitoring. The alternative — remote monitoring — has always made sense, but now this cost-effective, time-saving model is rightfully gaining steam. Remote monitoring in clinical trials means monitors don’t visit the site to transfer and review the data. Instead, the data monitoring is done virtually. With the use of digital technology, CROs and study sponsors/stakeholders can see the data from wherever they are located.
DCTs offer an effective avenue for studying what are sometimes considered “taboo” therapeutic areas while respecting participants’ discretion.
One of the keys to optimizing ePRO is deploying artificial intelligence (AI) to support human participants and clinical teams.
The unique challenges associated with women’s health, and women as a cohort, make clinical research in this sector especially difficult. DCTs are helping to tackle the obstacles.
eConsent can mitigate these shortcomings by providing flexibility and engagement that empower patients with information and sponsors with data integrity.
Diversity in clinical trials is a scientific imperative, a moral and ethical necessity—and a longstanding challenge in clinical research. DCTs are evolving the industry status quo.
Combining the ease of ePRO with expert rating—patient convenience with the objectivity of experts—facilitates more accurate data collection.
