Avoiding Failures in Decentralized Clinical Trials with eCOA, Using Human-Centered Design Principals
In the fast-paced world of clinical trials, adapting to digital trends is essential to improving outcomes and experiences for patients. Noah Goodson, Principal Strategy & Advisory at THREAD, recently shared insights gleaned from over 250 global trials across various industries and phases of development, shedding light on the evolution of e-clinical technology and how the use of human-centered design principles can help aid the adoption and utilization in of these approaches.
As studies become increasingly complex, the challenges of avoiding failures and optimizing success throughout the study lifecycle become just as difficult. Noah Goodson, PhD, Principal Strategy and Adisory at THREAD, emphasized the importance of leveraging human-centered design (HCD) principles to address this complexity effectively. By adopting a people-centered approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of systems, targeting the right problems, and implementing iterative interventions, teams can design solutions that streamline processes and enhance user experiences for all study stakeholders.
Embracing Innovation and Collaboration in Clinical Research
The future of clinical research lies in embracing innovation, collaboration, and human-centered design principles. Whether facing recruitment challenges, complex study endpoints, or the need for a configurable platform, adopting a user-centric mindset can drive research advancements and make trials more accessible to all.
Goodson's insights serve as a reminder of the power of integrating technology and human-centered design to transform the landscape of clinical trials and deliver impactful results for researchers, participants, and stakeholders worldwide. So as we continue to embrace these trends in trials, employing a human-centered approach in every aspect of our trial lifecycle ensures we're making research better and more accessible for everyone, everywhere.
