Proactively engage patients with automation that improves the clinical trial experience
Patient recruitment is both critical to ensure qualified enrollment in clinical trials and a huge investment for companies. Fully one-quarter of the cost of a clinical trial is assigned to patient recruitment. With so much invested in recruitment, patient retention is critical to managing costs and obtaining the data needed for regulatory submission. The failure… Read More

DEI in clinical trials
Health equity demands that clinical trial participants include a wide range of patients from diverse communities. This not only helps to reduce biases, it also contributes to more innovative science. Because people often experience disease differently, clinical trial enrollment needs to reflect diversity in race, ethnicity, sex and, often, age, in order to ensure that… Read More
