Essential equipment for decentralized clinical trials
Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) represent a transformative shift in clinical research, emphasizing accessibility and participant convenience through remote data collection. By harnessing cutting-edge technology, these trials minimize the need for physical visits to clinical sites, thereby accelerating timelines and enhancing participant engagement for more robust and applicable results. The success of decentralized trials hinges significantly on the availability and effectiveness of specialized equipment tailored for remote operations.

Decentralized trials – device insights and challenges
Decentralized trials, also known as virtual clinical trials (VCT), are Patient-centric, remote, siteless, hybrid, or digital trials. These trials use technology, such as wearables and telemedicine (apps, electronically monitoring devices, etc.) and online social engagement platforms, to collect data from patients outside of a traditional clinical setting. With this article, Clinichain would like to inform you by sharing our experience and insights we have seen for the last years within devices and technology for these types of trials and the challenges that come with these needs.
