Mobile Technology in Clinical Trials: Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative

Les Jordan, Working Group Member and Cindy Geoghegan, Team Lead for CTTI, the Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative, share findings from a multi-stakeholder project undertaken by the Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative to better understand patient perspectives on mobile technologies in clinical trials.

The survey, conducted amongst 100 patients across multiple therapeutic areas, evaluated the ways patients would be willing to use mobile technologies and the impact on their participation in clinical trials. Additional focus areas included:

• Potential impacts of mobile on participant experiences in clinical trials
• Patient willingness to share personal health data
• Important attributes for designing trials that address patient preferences and expectations
• Implications for the research enterprise

CTTI will also be joining the 6th annual Patients as Partners US program on March 11-12 at the Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District Hotel in Philadelphia where they will share newly-released recommendations and actionable tools, understand unique considerations for participants in mobile trials, and opportunities to effectively engage patients during trial planning.
