Virtual Research Webinar: What It Is and What It’s Doing in the Real-World Setting

Video

Description

Virtual approaches to clinical research leverage digital technologies to relieve study sites of many, if not all, responsibilities of the research process—from identifying potential study subjects to screening them for eligibility to obtaining their consent for enrollment to entering their study data.

In this free webinar, the featured speaker will discuss how such approaches can empower patients by bringing the research process to them, as well as challenges that arise when doing so. Key themes in virtual research will be highlighted, including the latest trends, the differences among the various types of virtual research and their applications in the real-world setting, where stakeholders are already excited by the potential that virtual approaches can bring to clinical research.
