Internet-friendly epatients – or empowered patients – and the rising availability of big data are becoming increasingly significant in clinical research. While the industry struggles to work out how best to respond to these developments, innovative approaches are starting to emerge that are already changing thinking and practise around clinical trial planning and implementation.

Key discussion points include:

The epatients: who and where they are, how significant they are, and what they are looking for
The big data benefit that epatients and other complementary sources can provide
How clinical research can harness and make sense of the data, and what can be done with it to improve clinical trial recruitment rates
How the information flow can be managed and the potential risks mitigated
