VCTC Spotted: Xtalks Webinar
VCTC’s Helen Shaw to Discuss Wearable Technology in Clinical Trials
Helen Shaw, Co-Founder and Head of Clinical Operations at VCTC, is set to participate in an Xtalks discussion on the growing role of wearable technology in clinical trials.
Wearable technology includes devices like fitness trackers, smartwatches, and biosensors that collect real-time health data from users. These devices monitor everything from heart rate and physical activity to sleep patterns and glucose levels. In clinical trials, wearables offer new ways to collect continuous, real-world patient data without requiring constant hospital visits.
This innovation not only reduces the burden on participants but also improves the accuracy of the data collected. With the ability to capture data remotely, wearables make clinical trials more accessible to diverse populations, including those in rural or underserved areas. This helps ensure that trials are inclusive and representative.
Wearables also enable researchers to track patient outcomes in real time, offering insights that can lead to faster and more personalized treatment developments. By integrating this technology, clinical trials are moving towards a future where data is gathered more efficiently and patients experience less disruption in their daily lives.
Helen’s discussion will focus on how wearables can be used to push forward the future of clinical trials, making them more patient-centric and effective. To learn more, click the link below:
