In the second chapter of our whitepaper series, Futureproofing Your Clinical Trials, we explore the transformative potential of decentralizing clinical trials—conducting research closer to participants’ communities and utilizing remote technologies.Â
This chapter highlights how decentralization can enhance inclusivity by making clinical research more accessible and equitable. We examine how partnerships with retail chains and using advanced digital tools, such as telehealth and wearable technologies, can help break down barriers, improve recruitment and retention, and expedite the delivery of life-saving treatments.
