Better patient engagement
Our decentralized clinical trial services are patient-centric and designed to improve the patient’s experience, which leads to better patient engagement and increased retention rates. We make it easy for patients to participate, by bringing trial activities to them wherever they are located: home, work or in-clinic. This allows us to reach a larger, more diverse pool of patients for your clinical trial.
Real-world evidence
Data about real-world patient experience has the potential to improve the quality and delivery of medical care, reduce overall costs, improve patient outcomes, inform marketing strategies, and potentially reveal new indications. These data help fill the knowledge gap between clinical trials and actual clinical practice. Calian offers custom-designed and insightful qualitative and quantitative real-world data (RWD) collection as part of our patient programs, enabling real-world evidence (RWE) generation.
