Decentralized Clinical Trials: Are We Ready to Make the Leap
Due to the fact that roughly 70 percent of potential study participants reside over two hours away from the study site, there has been a push for more decentralized clinical trials to combat this issue. The strategic implementation of certain technologies into decentralized studies could be transformational as they would greatly decrease the number of site visits that are required to participate in the clinical trial. These technologies just need to be patient-centric, of course!
