Clario Innovation Theater: Striking the Balance – Integrating Patient-Friendly Solutions Without Compromising Quality Science
Date: Tuesday, June 17, 2025
Time: 9:45am – 10:15am EDT
Abstract:
There is a critical balance to be struck, ensuring that study designs and digital endpoint solutions are not overburdensome to participants, but are still sufficiently robust to generate the quality data required to determine drug efficacy, safety, and impact to quality of life. In this engaging panel, we’ll review why maintaining patient focus is essential for success in today’s clinical studies, and how to do so successfully while maintaining the scientific rigor needed to achieve study goals.
