Clinical Trial and Technology in Houston


We cannot overestimate the influence of technology on every sphere of life. It does not exclude the scientific and medical research aspects. We should note that technology has been making groundbreaking impacts on clinical trials.

As a matter of fact, technology is a welcome development in clinical trials because of the ease it brings to the medical field. There is a wide range of research that goes into clinical trials. More patients are required, and technology has been used to increase the participation of more patients, as we will examine later on. 

With new trends in technology, scientists have created new opportunities to optimize clinical trials and have afforded people the chance to replicate models. However, it is important to note that keeping up with the speed of other industries does not bode quite well for clinical trials because it is a relatively new innovation. Therefore, stakeholders in the clinical trials industry need to have a good understanding of how things work. 

For example, it is essential that these stakeholders grasp how each function works, the extent and limitations have to be examined too. More importantly, it is vital to understand how technology can improve trust among patients. This is quite important due to the need for participation among patients. 

Modern technology provides strategies to upgrade efficiency as well as unlock more routes to create more clinical designs to examine. For example, machine learning can employ the use of raw and processed data to create models for clinical trials.

Machine learning is mostly used to make predictions for future results. However, it cannot provide salient solutions to present problems. This does not mean that technology cannot offer lasting solutions to problems posed to clinical trials. 

There are different concepts under technology that aid clinical trials. This post seeks to examine some of them.

The Roles of the Core Study Team in Clinical Trials

Conducting a clinical trial involves much more than just a physician and a patient. The skills of many experts are required in the design and running of a clinical trial. Such skills include; trial coordination, data processing, regulatory management, medical research, and many more. The people who play these roles are vital components in successfully initiating and conducting a clinical trial 1 . A successful clinical trial is a product of different personnel, all working together on various tasks at the same time to ensure everything comes together. Matching individuals with appropriate tasks ensures the proper use of the program’s resources and that the team members enjoy and remain challenged by their roles. 2 Some of the roles of the core team members involved in clinical trials will be discussed below. Principal Investigator (PI) The principal investigator is the lead personnel at the clinical trial site and oversees the conduct of the clinical trial. The PI is most times ...

REASONS SOME PEOPLE VOLUNTEER FOR CLINICAL TRIALS AND OTHERS DON’T

Clinical trials are a vital tool in research for the advancement of medical knowledge and also, patient care in general. They are research studies that involve people and are designed with the major aim of improving the health of patients and their quality of life. 1 The importance of clinical trials 2 cannot be overemphasized. They help determine: ·          If a new treatment works ·          How effective it is compared to other existing options ·          If the new treatment has any side effects While very good treatment options are available for some conditions, there are still some other conditions that require better options. Clinical trials are at the heart of all medical developments. They are vital in the discovery of new treatments for ailments, and also new ways to prevent, detect and diagnose such ailments. 3 Clinical trials serve as a mean...
