Bring Your Own Device: Why the Future of Clinical Trials Lies in Your Patients’ Hands

Life Sciences, Clinical Trials, Patient Recruitment & Retention, Drug Discovery & Development,
  • Tuesday, April 06, 2021

While bring-your-own-device (BYOD) has been in use for years, the pandemic has accelerated wider acceptance with the shift toward decentralized clinical trials and the intensified need for robust, patient-centric clinical trial solutions. Since smartphones are central to patients’ lives, incorporating them into clinical trials is a logical step toward more reliable and less burdensome electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) collection.

The benefits of using a scientifically proven, bring your own device (BYOD) or hybrid solution include:

  • Increased patient recruitment
  • Increased patient retention
  • Better patient experience
  • Greater compliance
  • Higher-quality data
  • Lower costs
  • Shorter build timelines

With all these benefits of BYOD and the recent technological advances that have taken place, regulatory, logistic, data privacy and security questions remain. What sort of documentation will the FDA require to support BYOD-derived data? Does BYOD adequately protect patient data? Will BYOD work for a global Phase III study?

Register for this webinar to hear experts address these considerations, as well as help clinical trial sponsors develop a clear path to use BYOD.

Willie Muehlhausen, Chief Executive Officer, Safira Clinical Research

Willie Muehlhausen graduated from vet school in Berlin, Germany, in 1996, and joined the clinical research industry as data manager in a large CRO in 1998. His first project in data management included a paper patient diary, and this started his interest in PROs. By 2002, he managed his first ePRO study, and after a couple of years in the U.K. and the U.S., he joined an ePRO provider in 2004. Working alongside the leading scientists in the industry sparked his interest in patient behavior and how ePRO can support patients in clinical trials.

Today, with additional experiences from being the head of innovation at another large CRO and working as an ePRO product manager, Willie is an accomplished, award-winning researcher, author, innovator, and mentor, driving eCOA BYOD research to support patients´ choice in the method of eCOA data capture. His team´s research and publications have forged a path for implementing and migrating instruments on patients´ devices without compromising instrument validity. Willie is now co-founder of Safira Clinical Research, a boutique CRO specializing in providing eCOA services and consulting to technology partners and biopharmaceutical and medical device companies.
