Digital technologies used in clinical trial recruitment and enrollment including application to trial diversity and inclusion: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many clinical trials fail because of poor recruitment and enrollment which can directly impact the success of biomedical and clinical research outcomes. Options to leverage digital technology for improving clinical trial management are expansive, with potential benefits for improving access to clinical trials, encouraging trial diversity and inclusion, and potential cost-savings through enhanced efficiency.

Objectives

This systematic review has two key aims: (1) identify and describe the digital technologies applied in clinical trial recruitment and enrollment and (2) evaluate evidence of these technologies addressing the recruitment and enrollment of racial and ethnic minority groups.

Methods

We conducted a cross-disciplinary review of articles from PubMed
