Patient Engagement in the Digital Age: Leveraging Technology to Improve Communication Between Patients and Stakeholders

Life Sciences, Clinical Trials, Patient Recruitment & Retention,
  • Thursday, July 21, 2022

Shifting expectations in the healthcare industry have put a considerable focus on scientific innovations driven by the end user. This new structure, combined with ongoing commitments to maintain scientific integrity, has created a new era of higher value research, communication and advocacy — with patients at the heart of it all. In this webinar, the featured speakers will talk about enhancing patient engagement and improving communication with stakeholders in the digital age.

To make this customer-centric framework a sustainable reality, ongoing challenges impacting participant recruitment and retention in clinical trials must be addressed. Market data shows that the estimated annual spend on clinical research is approximately $51 billion, with $5.9 billion of that dedicated solely to global patient recruitment. This is a significant number being allocated to an industry where 85 percent of clinical trials fail to retain enough patients.

Join this webinar to learn about helpful strategies like patient concierge technology, gamification and other digital tools for patient engagement while minimizing patient burden.
