CTTI Advances Mobile Clinical Trials & Patient Engagement at DIA 2017

Driving insights to action with our latest findings

CTTI Schedule at DIA 2017At this year’s DIA Annual Meeting, CTTI will present new approaches that can help bring the use of mobile technology in clinical trials from promise to reality. Advancements in data capture with mobile technology can translate to improved clinical trial quality and efficiency. CTTI will share case examples and methods for addressing specific challenges of integrating mobile devices into clinical trials in four presentations. These are preliminary results from CTTI’s Mobile Clinical Trials Program.

In addition, we will share our latest findings on measuring the financial impact of patient engagement from the Patient Groups & Clinical Trials Project. If you’ve been searching for a way to help sponsors and patient groups speak the same language in terms of perceived value of collaboration, this is the presentation for you. It is widely accepted that patient engagement can add value to the research process, but when it comes to business decisions, sponsors may be reluctant to allocate resources to patient engagement without a measure of financial impact. We present financial modeling for the impact of patient engagement to help inform these decisions.

DIA 2017 will be held in Chicago from June 18-22 and is themed “Driving Insights to Action.” Please join us for CTTI’s presentations:
