Patient Engagement: Opening The Digital Front Door To Clinical Trials

By: Ben Baumann, OpenClinica Co-Founder and COO

The key to recruiting and retaining participants in clinical trials is patient engagement. Therefore, to have a successful clinical trial, teams must try to make studies more accessible and engaging for participants. One way to overcome recruitment and retention challenges is to adopt the use of digital tools.

Digital tools can provide patients with information about clinical trials, simplify the enrollment process, and allow them to track their progress. Not only does this help patients to feel more informed and involved in the research process, but it can also improve the likelihood of participating in future clinical trials. In addition, digital tools can also improve the quality of data collected throughout the duration of the study. By making it easier for patients to report their symptoms and progress, digital tools can ensure that data is accurate and complete.

Discover how these tools are working to open the “digital front door” to clinical trials and accelerate the pace of medical research and improve the lives of patients.
