Televisits In Clinical Trials: Why Integrate A Telemedecine Feature In Your eCOA Trials?

With clinical trials digitalization and decentralization comes the possibility for patients to complete several of their clinical study procedures remotely, making their participation in clinical trials easier and less cumbersome than site-based trials.

The inclusion of a telemedicine option in a clinical trial allows a protocol visit to be performed remotely between the patient at home and the relevant clinical site personnel at the study site. If remote visits are planned in both decentralized and hybrid trials, how precisely do the televisits work and how beneficial can this really be to study patients, site staff, and sponsors?
