Unlocking the future of patient-centered trials
Site validation, patient recruitment, and physician recruitment solutions are only the first step in our goal of bringing clinical trials forward as a new avenue of treatment to improve the health of patients. We are reimagining clinical trial design so that in the future we can incorporate:
- Direct-to-patient trials that can leverage in-home, self-administered testing and mobile care teams, who can administer therapeutics, collect samples, and capture biometric data
- Quest Patient Service Centers as potential screening sites and interim checkpoints
- Virtual Principal Investigators (PIs) or sub-PIs
Our ongoing advancements in patient-centered recruitment include:
- Enriched data sets of health conditions, physicians, and site identification
- Advanced cohort analytics
- Enrollment and retention, and experience-based outreach
