Frequently asked questions

Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) refer to clinical trials that use digital technology to facilitate the remote conduct of several aspects of a clinical trial, such as patient recruitment and consent, data collection, monitoring, and more.

DCTs can involve the use of various technologies, including mobile devices, wearables, telemedicine, and electronic data capture, to enable participants to take part in the trial from their homes or other non-traditional settings. DCTs offer several benefits, including increased patient participation, reduced costs, and improved data quality.
