1. Continuous, Real-World Data Collection   Traditional clinical trials rely heavily on in-clinic measurements taken at scheduled visits. Wearables change that paradigm by enabling: Continuous heart rate monitoring Activity tracking Sleep measurement Blood glucose monitoring (CGM) Blood pressure monitoring Oxygen saturation tracking This allows researchers to capture real-world, longitudinal data rather than isolated snapshots. For […]

The rise of wearable sensors is reshaping the way healthcare professionals collect and interpret patient data. By enabling continuous, real-time monitoring outside clinical environments, these devices are improving treatment personalization, adherence, and early intervention. For clinical innovators, wearable sensor technology represents a key step toward scalable, data-driven healthcare delivery. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) powered by wearable

Patient retention in clinical trials has always been a challenge for research organizations. When participants drop out before completing a study, it can delay results, raise costs, and even jeopardize data integrity. However, advancements in technology have introduced new ways to keep participants engaged, supported, and compliant throughout the trial journey. For clinical operations teams,

Clinical trials depend on steady patient participation to deliver meaningful and reliable results. Yet, many participants face barriers that make continued involvement difficult. Travel distance, complex schedules, and lack of support often contribute to early withdrawal from studies. Patient concierge services are transforming this experience by providing tailored assistance that helps participants stay engaged and

Building Patient-Centric Trial Designs | ePRO/eCOA for Engagement Introduction Patient-centricity in clinical trials has shifted from buzzword to business necessity. Regulators, sponsors, and — most importantly — patients are demanding trials that are more inclusive, accessible, and less burdensome. Yet while many vendors talk about “patient centricity,” most simply digitize old processes. At Delve Health,

Introduction  In recent years, the emphasis on patient-centricity in clinical trials has grown substantially. With increasing demands for better patient engagement, satisfaction, and accessibility, technology plays a pivotal role in transforming how trials are conducted. Delve Health’s ePRO (electronic Patient Reported Outcomes) and eCOA (electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment) platforms are at the forefront of this

Introduction: Compliance + Retention = ROI That Matters The clinical research landscape is rapidly transforming. Sponsors and CROs face mounting pressure to deliver trials that are faster, more cost-effective, and patient-centric. Yet the greatest threat to trial success isn’t recruitment — it’s retention and compliance. Every patient who drops out creates ripple effects: Higher cost

Introduction: Why Retention & Compliance Matter More Than Ever Clinical research is facing a pivotal moment. With decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) accelerating across therapeutic areas, sponsors are realizing that the biggest barrier to success isn’t recruitment — it’s retention and compliance. Every patient dropout increases costs, delays timelines, and risks regulatory setbacks. That’s where ePRO

Introduction: How Wearables Are Transforming Clinical Trials   Clinical trials have always been the backbone of medical innovation. From testing new drugs to evaluating breakthrough therapies, clinical trials help ensure that treatments are safe and effective. But the way we conduct these trials is changing. Thanks to rapid advancements in technology, wearable devices are now

Introduction In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, the way we monitor patients is changing rapidly. With the rise of digital health tools, patient care is no longer confined to hospitals or clinics. One of the most important developments in this space is the emergence of digital biomarkers—data points collected from digital devices that provide insights into
