“The mHealth market can be hard to define. Put simply, it encompasses any kind of medical care accessed through a mobile device. Experts predict that mHealth technologies will become pivotal in clinical trials, since they provide objective, rather than subjective, data. Researchers no longer have to ask trial participants to estimate how active they are, for example—instead, patients can wear a fitness tracker that transmits health data in real time.   Now, face-to-face patient/physician interaction isn’t always necessary.  This “new way” might make life easier for clinical trial participants—but it has business benefits as well. Clinical trials are costly, and mHealth may one day bring those expenses down.  So what will the impact of mHealth be in 2017 and beyond?  A report from Deloitte suggests these technologies will become even more critical to clinical trials, helping to measure not just a medication’s efficacy, but also how it impacts the patient’s quality of life”. – Chelsea Pratt, excerpted from her article “How mHealth Will Change the Market” for InvestingNews.com, click here to read the article in its entirety. [end]    It’s been estimated only 5%-10% of eligible adults enroll in clinical trials, while only 5% of those who do participate complete the trial. In addition, two-thirds of trials are either never fully recruited or are late in their recruitment, 6 months behind, on average.   Study Scavenger Clinical Trial Recruitment App is mHealth technology created for research volunteers to simplify the process of finding clinical studies that meet their personal, health, travel and financial needs.  You can start utilizing Study Scavenger Clinical Trial Recruitment App to expedite your recruitment process by clicking here.
