What is it?

Virtual clinical trials utilize digital technologies like mobile apps, wearable devices, and remote monitoring platforms to conduct clinical research entirely online or with minimal in-person visits. This allows for more convenient and accessible trials that can include participants from anywhere in the world.

Advantages of Virtual Clinical Trials

Increased Accessibility and Convenience

By removing the need for frequent travel and site visits, Virtual Clinical Trials make participation possible for people who otherwise may not be able to commit the time away from work, family duties or who have limited mobility. This broader eligibility opens trials up to more diverse populations. The at-home model also adds an extra layer of convenience that participants appreciate.

Lower Costs

Without the expenses associated with physical trial sites, staff oversight of procedures and visits, and travel reimbursements, the overall costs of virtual trials are much reduced compared to traditional trials. Lower costs mean sponsors can run more trials in parallel and get new treatments to market faster and more affordably.
