In this video interview, Kent Thoelke, CEO of Paradigm Health, explains why patients in community and rural settings too often lack access to clinical research as a care option, and how closing that gap could improve outcomes and lower long-term costs.

In this video interview, Kent Thoelke, CEO of Paradigm Health, outlines why anti-kickback guidance and modern EHR-integrated trial matching technology must work in tandem to reach representative patient populations at the community level.

In this video interview, Kent Thoelke, CEO of Paradigm Health, explains why patient cost barriers and site infrastructure challenges must be solved together to close the participation gap in community and rural clinical trials.

In this Q&A, Rajneesh Patil, global head of AI, digital, and innovation in clinical development at Syneos Health, discusses what changes when AI is embedded across protocol strategy, data infrastructure, and workflow tools at once, where governance frameworks tend to fall short, and why CROs must orchestrate AI ecosystems rather than simply aggregate them.

In this video interview, Kent Thoelke, CEO of Paradigm Health, calls for safe harbor protections, CMS reimbursement safeguards, and funding mechanisms modeled on EHR meaningful use to help community and rural institutions participate in research on par with academic centers.

In this video interview, Kent Thoelke, CEO of Paradigm Health, describes how manual eligibility screening and swivel-chair data entry force community sites to trade billable patient care for research, and why that burden is so hard to absorb.

Patients don’t experience primary endpoints, so trials that stop at biomarkers and rigid rating scales risk declaring success while leaving daily burden untouched, and digital tools only deliver meaningful evidence when they are co-designed with patients and deployed with restraint.

Pacing obesity trial enrollment, anchoring eligibility to stable real-world therapies, and building site and physician relationships improve retention and data quality more than aggressive recruitment or restrictive exclusion criteria do.
