Going the Distance: Insights into Rare Disease Clinical Studies, Trial Retention & Patient Experience

We are amidst a data revolution in healthcare and the life sciences. With advances in DNA sequencing, multiomics, wearables, imaging, and clinical data capture, there is more data — and there are more data modalities — to draw from for biomedical research than ever before. However, the quantity, variance and speed of data generation outpaces researchers’ ability to effectively utilize it to reveal medical breakthroughs for those in need. The ability to analyze health data is critical in developing a precision health approach. By leveraging diverse data sources, researchers can determine the most effective actions for individuals and communities. However, current barriers to data access and collaboration hinder progress. To accelerate the pace of discovery, a solution is needed to close the gap between research and health care. This paper describes how Verily Workbench provides solutions for healthcare professionals and researchers to easily access and collaborate on data within an integrated analysis and governance framework. Workbench provides a community of researchers with the platform, data, and tools to solve the most pressing scientific challenge

Clinical trials have become increasingly complex over the past decades, making participant recruitment more challenging than ever. This guide explores common recruitment obstacles and offers strategies to overcome them using a patient engagement and recruitment solution.

According to a 2024 study “Benchmarking Site Activation and Patient Enrollment,” 33% of sites under-enrolled, and 14% failed to enroll a single patient. The best way to course-correct this is to adopt a multifaceted approach to patient recruitment, that goes beyond traditional channels and ways of thinking.
