While many pieces of the drug development process have digitised to keep pace with the speed of technological advancements, clinical trials continue to lag amidst pharma’s digital transformation. According to Peleg, one of the biggest inefficiencies is in the process of collecting and streaming data from participants at trial sites to the trial organisers.
Today, Peleg explains, much of this process remains manual. Trial sites monitor patients participating in a research programme and enter their data into an electronic health record (EHR) for storage before transferring it to the trial’s electronic data capture (EDC) system.
