Next week my Datacubed Health colleagues and I will be in Chicago for the DIA 2022 Global Annual Meeting. For me, it’s always exciting to connect with others who share our commitment to driving eCOA/ePRO innovation for clinical trials. In preparing for my talk, I’ve been reflecting on innovation—more specifically, the “why” of innovation. Not …
In an earlier post, I made the case for adaptive patient engagement: that a patient engagement platform should do more than enable personalized experiences. It should also be able to flex when real-life hiccups put a patient’s participation at risk. This approach offers clear benefits for patients and provides the tailored support they need to stay …

If you’re like me and you’ve been working in the clinical trials industry for a long time, you know we’ve come a long way from the days of fully paper-based studies.

In the early 1950s, there was a significant effort to understand why pilots were struggling with flying new jets.

But when I look deeper into “patient engagement strategies,” I often find little more than digitized paper processes. Patient engagement is relegated to a checkbox exercise — a series of …

In an ideal world, this would be a “post-pandemic” blog. Instead, this is an “ongoing pandemic” post reflecting on what’s changed in clinical trials since 2020, which of those changes are likely to endure and why we should maintain momentum. Over the past two years, the pandemic has prompted changes across industries. Consumers have made …
As 2021 wound down, I had the opportunity to attend some conferences in person – a true pleasure after so many months behind screens. These experiences reminded me of the importance of connecting with others in three dimensions. They also reinvigorated the “why” of the work we do in clinical trials. We’re here to make …
Safety monitoring – the reporting, tracking and adjudication of potential adverse events (AEs) – is vitally important to all clinical trials. Studies rely on formal safety monitoring workflows, with well-established tools for supporting them. One of the most common starting points for this workflow is a patient visit – when a patient shares the details …
