Reimagining Clinical Research – Enhancing the ‘Patient Centricity’ through Decentralized Clinical Trials
The world post Covid-19 will be different and continue to evolve in a dynamic fashion. Changes to the way clinical research is conducted today is certainly imminent. As one can imagine, the innovations in clinical research would happen now more than ever. During this panel discussion, we will discuss how decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) offer a more patient-centric approach with fewer visits to the clinic, thereby reducing the burden on investigator, patient and health caregiver. During this changing time, the critical imperatives of DCTs would be to focus on patient safety, ensure data quality and maintain research continuity seamlessly.
Key themes:
- Decentralized Clinical Trials – the approach, challenges and proposed risk mitigation strategies
- Guidelines for enabling remote patient enrollment, patient screening, consent and data capture processes
- Patient engagement through use of technology – ePRO, wearable devices, video calls, etc.
- Data Capture and Data Integration from varied data sources – EDC, ePRO, eCOA, Wearables, EMR, EHR, etc.
