How AI Lowers the Real-World Barriers to Trial Participation
In this video interview, Michel van Harten, MD, CEO, myTomorrows, discusses how patient education and remote monitoring can help with reducing the burden of trial participation.
In a recent video interview with Applied Clinical Trials, Michel van Harten, MD, CEO, myTomorrows, discussed the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical trials, highlighting its potential to reduce costs, accelerate timelines, and improve inclusion. Looking forward, advancements with AI are expected to speed up drug discovery, predict drug efficacy, and develop digital twins for personalized treatment simulations, potentially reducing trial risks and costs.
ACT: While there is potential for AI in operational aspects of trials, how can it benefit the patients participating in them?
van Harten: I think it's important to lowering the barrier to actually identify and access options, and by educating them in a patient-friendly way, in their own language, and educate them. I think it's also important to support more remote monitoring to lower logistical barriers and reduce overall impact so that patients don't have to travel that much, etc. and lower the impact of participating into a trial.
