Digital endpoints in clinical trials: emerging themes from a multi-stakeholder Knowledge Exchange event.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Digital technologies, such as wearable devices and smartphone applications (apps), can enable the decentralisation of clinical trials by measuring endpoints in people's chosen locations rather than in traditional clinical settings. Digital endpoints can allow high-frequency and sensitive measurements of health outcomes compared to visit-based endpoints which provide an episodic snapshot of a person's health. However, there are underexplored challenges in this emerging space that require interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration. A multi-stakeholder Knowledge Exchange event was organised to facilitate conversations across silos within this research ecosystem.

Methods

A survey was sent to an initial list of stakeholders to identify potential discussion topics
