Abstract

Decentralised clinical trials are a modification of traditional clinical trials, which make studies cost-effective, time-saving and easier for participants. The use of digital solutions and health technologies in part or the entire trial process from patient recruitment, participant information, obtaining informed consent, clinical site visits, trial procedures, sampling, medication administration and safety monitoring enables for more effective conduct of the trial. Collecting data from multiple digital platforms allows for better and continuous monitoring of trial participants. In this review, we summarise those points.
