Mobile Clinical Trials: Contacting Communities
When conducting clinical trials, it is often that ideal populations are concentrated in specific communities. Finding healthcare providers that are willing to sponsor trials in their patients can be difficult, leading many trial providers to aim for ‘decentralized clinical trials’. This solution comes with its own challenges, as many decentralized clinical trials are conducted remotely, where patient administered treatment and self-recorded data often deviates from trial protocol.
Mobile clinical trial solutions offer the ability to conduct trials on site in communities of interest, independent of healthcare providers, and with the ability to relocate or route to target multiple communities at once. The nature of a mobile space is that it can be set-up anywhere, offering closer proximity and increased accessibility to patients.
Increased accessibility is the key to higher participation and retention in trial participants. These key facts are why mobile solutions maximize the return on a clinical trial, resulting in data ownership, more complete data sets, and better treatment.
