Episode 10: The emerging role of wearables in clinical trials The Parexel Podcast

    • Life Sciences

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to rethink just about every aspect of clinical trials. An area of significant potential is the use of wearables as part of Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCTs). Today, wearables are enabling at-home care and providing long-term monitoring of COVID-19 patients. How can wearables change the game in this most critical time for our industry? What considerations need to be kept in mind when involving wearables in a clinical trial? Julia Lakeland, solutions architect, program director, and wearables expert for Parexel joins Sheng Feng, Parexel’s head of real-world data in Asia-Pacific, in this episode hosted by Keith Wenzel, a leader of our Scientific Data Organization, discussing the role of wearables in the future of clinical trials.
