Technology Overload: Addressing Site Challenges Of Digital Trials

The digital transformation of clinical trials has made tremendous strides in recent years, but the plethora of new technologies can be overwhelming for investigative sites. To run a single clinical trial, site teams may need to navigate up to 15 different systems, including Electronic Data Capture (EDC), Electronic Health/Medical Records (EHR/EMR), payment systems, Clinical Trial Management Systems (CTMS), radiology, and various technology vendors. Additionally, teams must learn to effectively utilize remote site staff and virtual facilities. Although technology should theoretically simplify site operations, the surplus of distinct point solutions often creates significant burdens.

In this webcast, speakers from GSK, Medable, and Alcanza Research delve into the experiences of sites conducting digital and hybrid trials, and discuss the critical importance and benefits of implementing a change management strategy alongside a unified digital trial platform. This approach aims to streamline eConsent, electronic Clinical Outcome Assessments (eCOA), sensor integration, and other workflows into a cohesive, end-to-end experience, thereby reducing complexity and enhancing operational efficiency.
