What are the main barriers to clinical trial participation for patients and how can these be overcome? How can we better engage patients in trials, understand their needs and take a patient-led, empathetic approach? And what role do digital technologies, such as telemedicine or medical wearables, play in improving clinical trial designs?
Discover the results of our recent survey with Trials24 about patient perspectives on clinical trials in this Climedo Connect and get first-hand insights from a patient representative – Jen Rose. Together, we discussed:
- Current barriers and patient access to trial participation
- Expectations around travel, on-site visits & communication
- Patients' openness towards digital technologies in trials
- A look at the future and open comments
With her extensive background in patient advocacy, Jen Rose is well-equipped to evaluate and discuss the results of the survey with us, offering valuable insights and sharing her own experiences and assessments. Her expertise in supporting young patients with chronic diseases, as well as her involvement in creating patient information for two IBD charities, uniquely positions her to provide a nuanced perspective on the findings of the survey. Learn more about Jen's story and her book for young people with IBD here.
In addition to the presentation attendees had the opportunity to join various live surveys, network with other attendees and, of course, ask our experts any questions they had.
