Capitalizing On Sensors In Clinical Trials

A decade ago, wearable technology was rare, but today, fitness trackers and smartwatches are common, and sensors are increasingly used in clinical trials. Patient-centric sensors like pulse oximeters and glucometers collect data passively, reducing patient burden and improving trial enrollment and adherence. Despite innovations, device manufacturers often struggle to meet sponsors' needs, leading sponsors to hire CROs like Parexel for sensor integration.

Key considerations for integration include assessing technology for security and usability, addressing specific patient needs, ensuring sensors fit patient lifestyles, and developing data collection strategies. Proper logistics management and creating governance structures are also crucial. A CRO can streamline the integration process, reduce start-up times, and manage complexities, ultimately enhancing trial outcomes through effective sensor use.
