How To Eliminate Travel As A Top Barrier To Clinical Trial Participation

By Mike Woodard, Senior Manager, Operations & Support

In our 2023 summer survey, we reached out to sponsors and CROs to find out where they see the greatest need for investment in enhancing the patient experience. The most frequent answer was 'participant travel', often recognized as a significant obstacle to trial participation.

At Greenphire, we acknowledge the critical role that dependable and convenient travel arrangements play for those taking part in clinical trials. Our global clinical trial travel solution, ConneX, has been instrumental in assisting thousands of participants to navigate logistical hurdles, enabling their involvement in studies that might not have been possible otherwise.

A key component of delivering such a service is maintaining a strong global network equipped with the knowledge, resources, and flexibility required to meet the diverse needs of participants worldwide. Below are examples of unique challenges encountered by participants and how we've worked to eliminate these obstacles.
