The Benefits of Using Digital Tools in Clinical Research

In this video, Athene Lane discusses the advantages of using digital tools for research.

She summarises our findings, emphasizes their importance in the context of the COVID pandemic, and points out some areas which need further research and investigation.

One of the issues she raises is the need to find ways to ensure digital tools work in harmony with each other to maximise the benefits of using them, e.g. tools for recruitment and tools for retention. How might this be realised?

What do you think can be done to make digital technologies more useful for the recruitment and retention of clinical trial participants and increase uptake by patients and professionals?
