Solving for the Digital Divide: Building Trust with Mobile Tech for Patients

There are many reasons why patients don’t trust or feel comfortable using a digital/mobile device. Implementing mobile technologies in clinical trials can sometimes create barriers to participation amongst patients who struggle to access them, are digitally challenged and/or do not have the bandwidth to support the utilization. This session addresses the digital divide, the challenges of accessing and using mobile technologies and solutions to reduce these barriers.

• Patient and site perspectives on utilizing mobile/digital technologies in clinical trials
• How pharma is addressing access and equity from a digital perspective
• Educating, communicating and supporting patients through the use of digital/mobile technologies, reducing anxiety and building trust
• How do we think about trial design to accommodate patients using digital/mobile technologies
• How are we addressing and tackling WiFI/Bandwidth connectivity challenges that are required with these technologies such as patient access?
