Innovative Health Initiative Pledges to Help Break Silos Between Basic Research, Medical Disciplines, and Technological Areas.
Technology presents the healthcare community with a golden opportunity to improve lives – but only if we embrace that potential. Success, according to the Innovative Health Initiative’s Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda, depends on cross-sector collaboration. Across Europe, healthcare faces a multitude of challenges. The region is home to an aging population, living with a…
Read MoreSupporting Adherence in Clinical Research with easy to use, Evidence-Based Medication Adherence Tools
Clinical research can stand or fall on the adherence to trial medications – even the most efficacious interventions will fail if people do not take their medicines as prescribed. That’s why researchers from the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales, Australia used AARDEX’s digital solutions to verify adherence to medication among…
Read MoreFDA Issues Proposed Guidance for the use of Digital Health Technology in Clinical Investigations
In recent years, a multitude of Digital Health Technologies (DHTs) have emerged, many with the ability to solve some of the biggest problems in clinical trials. However, uptake has been slow. Now, proposed new Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines could change all that by finally giving sponsors, contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs), and contract research…
Read MorePaving the Way for Optimal Patient Adherence in Clinical Research
For far too long, poor patient adherence has been the elephant in the room. The common, age-old problem has the potential to bring a clinical trial to its knees, and yet with no workable solution on the table, sponsors and CROs have been forced to ignore it. But that’s changing. Integrating advanced technologies, including smart packaging (smart…
Read MoreThe Case for Measuring and Managing Patient Adherence
According to the World Health Organization, up to half of the patients with chronic diseases fail to take their medications properly.1 Research shows many patients who are part of clinical trials do not maintain medication adherence either.2 Among many things, poor patient adherence is an ongoing threat to drug development. Typically, by month 12, 40% of participants have…
Read MoreRemoving the Barriers that Hinder Patient Adherence
Poor patient adherence tends to be a matter of people not taking their medicine as prescribed, due to access barriers. So how can placing an additional burden on patients be the answer? As an industry, we are more than aware of the scale and consequences of non-adherence to medication, both in routine care and clinical…
Read MoreSmart Packaging in Clinical Trials: The Missing Piece in the Medication Adherence Puzzle
Poor adherence to medication has been costing lives and money for decades – but cutting-edge solutions are now on hand to solve the age-old problem. It is no secret that the medical community has a problem with patient compliance: patients not taking their medication as prescribed. The issue drives health outcomes down, forces cost up[1],…
Read MoreWhen Participant Retention Diminishes, it’s Time to Invest in Participant Engagement
Boost clinical trial retention with participant engagement and adherence patterns Clinical trial participants are among a study’s most valuable assets – which is why Sponsors & CROs are increasingly investing to keep them on board, on track, and on the drug. Clinical trial participants are difficult, expensive, and time-consuming to recruit, yet dropout rates are…
Read MoreAddressing Medication Adherence in Decentralized Clinical Trials
Adherence monitoring can minimize variability and maximize engagement in DCTs Decentralized clinical trials (DCT) are growing in popularity, thanks to their ability to tear down many of the long-standing barriers to robust medical research. And while this new model has some challenges of its own, focusing on adherence can help tackle them head-on. COVID-19 accelerated…
