Key insights
Although not entirely new, use of these technologies is gaining momentum and senior decision makers need to be aware of the potential of this growth area and also the issues and challenges. We typically bring the patient to the clinical trial, but mobile health signals the opportunity of bringing the trial to the patient.
This webinar will focus on free-living activity in clinical trials:
- The background to use of wearables/sensors
- Accelerometers and how do they work
- Examples of the use of sensors today and most common therapeutic areas
- Barriers to more extensive use covering methodology, technology and regulations
- Standardization for implementing activity monitors, data management and developing clinical endpoints
