Future of Clinical Trials

The future of clinical trials illustrated as follows. The sponsor strategies to participate the patient concluded social media such as Facebook, and regular e-mail updates in order to attract the patient to the trial, and once the patient decides to learn more about the trial, the sponsor mails the patient a package covering mobile health devices, which collect medical diagnostic data and sends that data to the sponsor.  The patient turns on the tablet, which contains an electronic consent and a video of a physician explaining the clinical trial in detail. Humanization in digital media is believed to be an effective tool that is used to communicate with patients. Throughout the clinical trial, the subject is able to contact live physicians either virtually or through nearby medical community centers. Distant nurses visit the subject at their homes to gather samples.  In addition, the patient routines the mobile health device to automatically upload study data directly to the sponsor's EDC database.
