Clinical Research
Decentralized clinical trials refer to the utilization of digital health technologies, telemedicine, and remote monitoring methods to carry out clinical trials in locations other than traditional clinical settings. This approach aims to improve patient convenience and overcome logistical challenges associated with traditional clinical trials. By leveraging digital health technologies, such as mobile apps, wearable devices, and telemedicine platforms, researchers can remotely collect data from participants, conduct study visits, and monitor their health status. This flexibility allows patients to participate in clinical trials from the comfort of their own homes, reducing the need for frequent in-person visits to clinical sites. Decentralized clinical trials and case reports can enhance participant recruitment and retention, as well as enable broader geographical reach, ultimately accelerating the research process and potentially improving the overall efficiency and inclusiveness of clinical trials. Additionally, the use of decentralized approaches in collecting real-world data can complement traditional clinical trial data and provide valuable insights into the effectiveness and safety of treatments in real-world settings. These approaches are also applicable to case reports, where remote monitoring and telemedicine can be utilized to collect relevant information and data for reporting and analysis.
