Session: LEVERAGING DATA AND TECHNOLOGY TO MODERNISE FORECASTING AND RECRUITMENT

As new technologies emerge that prove useful tools for research in collecting various types of data in real-world settings, it is important to evaluate whether or not they bring with them the unintended consequence of leaving some populations behind. New wearables, sensors, and other digital health technologies can revolutionize our ability to contextualize data and capture real-time measurements of clinical trial study participants. However, if these technologies are only accessible to certain groups (e.g., high socio-economic status or non-rural communities or require high education attainment) their use and implementation may perpetuate poor representation in clinical research. In this panel, experts will discuss the importance of identifying and recognizing the use of technologies (either the devices themselves or the methods in which they are presented) that have the potential to serve as a bridge and improve clinical trial accessibility and participation by populations historically left out of biomedical research.
