How Sensor Technology Is Transforming Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are the foundation of drug development, generating life-saving medicines for the betterment of society. But trials can be arduous, lengthy, and expensive for patients, sites, and sponsors, particularly in neurological disease trials, where phase III trials cost up to $370 million, last 7.9 years, and face a 95% failure rate among drug candidates 1,2,3. Moreover, traditional site-based data collection methods do not capture the complete picture of how patients are affected by
