By Kyle Cunningham, Chief Product Officer

The mission of the life sciences industry is to provide patients worldwide with therapies, treatments, and potential cures for various medical conditions, cancers, and diseases. However, this can’t be achieved without the patients affected by these conditions. According to reports, 80% of trial timelines delays are due to deficient recruitment and retention efforts, causing the drug development process to slow. In a Patient Convenience Market Trends survey by Greenphire, 98% of sponsors and CROs shared that clinical trial timelines could be accelerated if patient recruitment and retention were improved.

Consider these five key aspects when evaluating technology providers in support of patient convenience initiatives.
