Digital Apps and Tech for Patient Engagement

In today’s ACT Brief, we examine how sites can avoid both fear-driven and overly aggressive AI adoption, why community-based research needs sustained financial investment, and why patient access matters more than organizational size.

In today’s ACT Brief, we examine how AI is moving into continuous clinical operating models, how trust is built into oncology real-world evidence, and how the FDA approved a self-administered option for thyroid eye disease.

In today’s ACT Brief, we examine who decides what trials measure, how designing for human thinking improves site execution, and how the FDA extended an immunotherapy to a new bladder cancer population.

In Episode 3 of The Human Side of Clinical Trials, hosts Brian S. McGowan, PhD, FACEHP, chief learning officer and co-founder of ArcheMedX, Inc., and Kelly Ritch, chief operating officer of ArcheMedX, Inc., speak with Jason Riis, PhD, CEO and chief behavioral scientist at Behavioralize, about why a well-written protocol doesn’t always translate into consistent execution, and how designing for the way people actually think and learn can reduce site burden and the need for costly unlearning.

In today’s ACT Brief, we examine what it will take to scale EHR-to-EDC connections for real-time trials, how the FDA is reimagining rare disease drug development, and why oncology real-world evidence still faces persistent data barriers.

In today's ACT Brief, we examine how representation gaps in trials are shaped by structural design decisions, how new partnerships automate data transfer from site systems to sponsor platforms, and how Roche is licensing a novel obesity target from a biotech pioneer.
