Smartphones are modernizing the traditional medical imaging practice. Patients no longer leave their appointment carrying a CD, which will inevitably be lost or forgotten by the time they need it for their next appointment.

Clinical trials are a critical part of the development of medicine and treatments. In the United States, there are just under 400,000 clinical trials in progress at the time of this writing. However the clinical trial market is becoming increasingly saturated, with a smaller participant pool to recruit from. This causes many to cancel clinical trials before they even start, which can lead to a loss of money and time invested. So, how can you keep your clinical trial on track to ensure efficiency throughout?

In order to develop an efficient clinical trial, or make your current clinical trial more effective, you will need to consider the important steps necessary to execute the trial. We're going to take it back to the basics and cover some basic steps that are important for any clinical trial and discuss the ways in which those steps can be executed with supporting technology.
