The era of paper-based clinical trials is over. Well, maybe not. Well, almost there. Hopefully. Traditionally, clinical trials were paper-based, but in recent years, a significant shift has occurred, with trials welcoming the online realm.
Digital clinical trials leverage the power of digital technology, including portable devices, to enhance participant access, engagement, and retention. This transition has been a game-changer, particularly for patients facing specific challenges. Those living far from clinic sites, those dealing with mobility issues, or those struggling the financial burden of participating in a clinical trial.
By introducing decentralized elements like remote patient visits, clinical trials have significantly alleviated the burden on patients. However, as with any revolutionary change, challenges have emerged. One such challenge is the reliance on smartphones or tablets for trial-related activities. Today, most clinical trials require patients to own a smartphone to complete tasks, such as answering questionnaires or logging treatment details.
Yet, not every patient owns a smartphone, and not every smartphone is equipped with the necessary modern apps needed for the trial specific activities. The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) approach, although convenient for many, may not always be the optimal solution. Aspects such as patient’s age, financial status or the willingness to use personal devices can become triggers for the patients to drop-out of a clinical trial. And even if patients agree to use their own devices, ensuring proper device setup and app usage remains a challenge.
The pressing question arises: How can we avoid creating additional barriers that lead to even more patients drop-out?
BYOD or NOT BYOD, Dual Approach
