“Clinical trials (CTs) are a type of clinical study designed by researchers where participants receive an intervention, such as a drug or medical device.  CTs are often plagued by delays, patient dropout, and cost overruns that lead to high costs, risks, and sometimes failure.   Science 37 is a technology enabled clinical research company with a goal to decentralize CTs and make the overall study experience better for both patients and researchers. To accomplish this, Science 37 has replaced traditional physical CT sites with a ‘metasite’ powered by cloud-based mobile research platform called NORA or Network Oriented Research Assistant. NORA connects patients with researchers and essentially brings the clinical trial to the participant’s home, removing geographical barriers like travel time and travel costs. Patients are able to retain their existing doctor and can benefit from access to trial-related care via telemedicine or home visits, depending on the study”. – Fiona Wong, PhD for MedicalNewsBulletin.com, excerpted from the article “Science 37 Decentralizes Clinical Trials” click here to read the article in its entirety.
