Results show rapid increase in adoption of digital health devices, use of patient-generated health data in clinical trials, medication adherence, chronic disease management
DURHAM, N.C. – Pharma and biotech will increasingly turn to digital health tools over the next five years to better collect, analyze and act on patient-generated health data (PGHD). This according to a research paper
Validic published
today in advance of the Disruptive Innovations US Conference in Boston. Research indicates the rise in acceptance and use of PGHD and digital health technologies are attributed to increased pressures to reduce trials costs, streamline processes, demonstrate real world-efficacy, address medication adherence and improve treatments for chronic diseases. According to survey results, over 60 percent of respondents stated they have used digital health technologies in clinical trials and over 97 percent said they plan to use these tools increasingly over the next five years. Findings from the survey point to the increasing prevalence of technology-driven clinical trials and growing need for automated access to real-time, remotely-collected patient data. The study conducted over two months includes responses from nearly 200 global pharma and biotech companies, CROs and technology providers. Within those organizations, most respondents hold executive leadership positions closely followed by clinical operations professionals, innovation team members and information technology personnel. The research analyzed the survey results and market trends to identify the key drivers fueling the induction and utilization of digital health technologies – in this study classified as wearables, in-home clinical devices, sensors and apps – and the patient health data generated from these tools. Some of the identified drivers include:
“The use of digital health technologies and patient-generated health data is becoming a proven necessity to the operational efficiency and patient-centricity of the pharmaceutical industry, said Validic CEO and Co-Founder Drew Schiller. “This remotely-collected data has the potential to reduce patient burden allowing for more passive engagement and data collection, while also improving the accuracy of data patients contribute during and after trials.” Validic will be sponsoring and exhibiting at DPHARM’s Mobile in Clinical Trials and Disruptive Innovations to Advance Clinical Trials in Boston, September 19-21.
