The promise of “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) in clinical trials has sparked equal parts excitement and skepticism across the research community. Supporters point to greater patient convenience, faster recruitment and potential cost savings. Critics raise concerns about data integrity, regulatory acceptance and technology disparities. So — where does the truth stand?
In this webinar, the featured speakers will move beyond the buzzwords and dig into the real-world evidence shaping BYOD adoption in ePRO and eCOA studies.
The expert panel will explore:
- The State of BYOD in Clinical Trials – Understanding adoption trends, identifying therapeutic areas where BYOD thrives and confronting its current limitations
- Data Quality & Integrity – Addressing device variability, OS updates, offline data capture and how to meet regulatory expectations without sacrificing flexibility
- Patient-Centricity: Promise vs. Reality – Reviewing whether BYOD truly improves recruitment, retention and compliance — or if it widens the accessibility gap
- Regulatory & Privacy Considerations – Navigating HIPAA, GDPR and global frameworks, informed consent requirements and the critical role of submission screenshots
Sponsors, CROs, technology providers and clinical operations professionals will gain clarity on separating hype from reality, understanding the evolving regulatory landscape and evaluating if BYOD is the right fit for upcoming trials.
Register for this webinar to learn how BYOD in clinical trials is shaping data quality, patient engagement and regulatory strategy.
