There’s been a rapid shift towards decentralization in clinical trials & it’s clear why. The potential for reaching a larger pool of recruits is possible when sponsors can bring more trial activities to the patient. Tele visits, digital consent, new monitoring sensors, & direct-to-patient supply are virtual tools that existed before the pandemic, but now there’s swift adoption of these methods because they’ve been proven to help launch & complete trials more effectively.
