COUCH Health Publishes ‘Inclusive Terminology Report’ to Support Diversity in Clinical Trials

COUCH Health announced the publication of a new report “Exploring the Impact of Terminology on Inclusivity in Healthcare” as part of the Demand Diversity campaign.
The report was conducted and produced by the COUCH Health in-house research team, who consulted with 300 people from across a range of different groups to understand how they perceived terminology which is commonly found across healthcare and medical literature.
The initial phase of qualitative research was supplemented by quantitative research in the shape of a survey, which was co-designed with 20 people from across the UK and the US. The resulting research explores terminology across the following areas: disability, race and ethnicity, sexuality, and gender.

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 today’s ACT Brief, we examine why community and rural patients lack access to research as a care option, what makes AI assistants trustworthy in regulated trials, and how FDA draft guidance could let gene editing therapies cover patient-specific variants.
In this Q&A, E.K. Koh, chief product officer at Suvoda, discusses what separates a trustworthy AI assistant from one that adds risk, why curated clinical knowledge matters more than general-purpose flexibility, and what safeguards must be in place when assistants move from answering questions to taking actions in clinical trial systems.
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 today’s ACT Brief, we examine why anti-kickback guidance and EHR-integrated trial matching must work together in community settings, why real-time trials depend on mature risk-based quality management, and how pharma is applying digital clones to predict outcomes.
The FDA’s RTCT initiative transmits predefined, clinically meaningful signals to regulators during active trials, so its value depends entirely on the maturity of sponsors’ upstream RBQM signal intelligence, KRIs, QTLs, and root-cause context, rather than on data speed.
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.
