Part 1 - 10 min Executive Strategic Summary
Part 2 - 45 min In-depth Explanation and Discussion

This webinar assesses the disruptive impact of COVID-19 on clinical trials, the reasons that the industry finds itself in difficulty and explores new strategies for the future.

Key topics include:

· The Covid-19 impact on clinical trials and estimated financial and human cost

· The case for change including views from senior pharmaceutical executives and other industry experts

· The reasons that so many clinical trials have been placed on hold and patients lost to treatment or follow up

· Root causes for the industry being in the situation it now finds itself: the use of outdated technologies, processes and workarounds that have contributed to making clinical trials inflexible, inefficient, expensive and frustrating

· Whether COVID-19 would have been so disruptive had the industry embraced change and modernization earlier

· Why a new strategy is needed and how it can be achieved quickly and easily to deliver:

  • Flexibility including where and how patients are assessed and data captured
  • Efficiency and cost savings including accessing and verifying data via remote, central and targeted review, or not at all
  • Immediacy in having all data from all sources and all types aggregated in one place with applied live visualizations, insights and analytics for all to use
  • Speed from ultra-rapid setup to no downtime for updates and changes. Plus immediate, drill down on data and follow up actions for data review
  • Control with visibility of activities status, completeness of tasks and early alerts
  • Enable the future including being able to operationalize AI into clinical trials easily
