Virtual Clinical Trials Market Dynamics

Virtual Clinical Trials Market Driver

Real-time reporting and data collection

  • Real time reporting and data collection is a major factor drives the market growth. The majority of data is transferred from smartphone or wearable directly into the clinical database, rather than relying on clinical trial staff to transfer data from various documents into the clinical trial database where data can potentially be lost or edited by mistake. A diverse range of participants makes the data richer and of higher quality.

Greater patient reach and reduced costs

  • Virtual clinical trials do not require physical site visits, full staffing, or storage facilities. Grant payments to investigators are also significantly reduced, all of which reduce the overall cost of a clinical trial.

Virtual Clinical Trials Market Restraint

Concerns over data accuracy and security

  • Data security is major issue hamper the growth of global virtual clinical trials market. Patients have their confidential medical data transmitted directly through the Internet, where it can be easily hacked or accessed by unauthorized persons. Sponsors must notify all participants of this potential risk in the informed consent form. If any data breach, there must be a clear plan to resolve the issue and notify participants and trial sponsors.

Real time reporting and data collection is a major factor drives the market growth. The majority of data is transferred from smartphone or wearable directly into the clinical database, rather than relying on clinical trial staff to transfer data from various documents into the clinical trial database where data can potentially be lost or edited by mistake. A diverse range of participants makes the data richer and of higher quality.

A virtual clinical trial is an alternative method to traditional clinical trial. New connected devices empower clinical trial activities with better clinical data collection, analysis, and interpretation. Clinical trial monitoring devices, clinical trial software, eCOA, ePRO, and eConsent are some of the digital tools that increase clinical trial activities. The bring-your-own-devices strategy is a key trend widely accepted among CROs and sponsors. This new strategy allows test participants to deliver the required data with their own Internet-enabled solutions. Technological progress and confidence in improved research results can lead to new solutions. A recent retrospective approach using a synthetic clinical trial approach provides significant clinical development. This is a new approach in the virtual clinical trials market and is expected to grow significantly. Also, the involvement of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical trials significantly changes the trial process as AI can speed up target validation, clinical trial design, and patient identification to participate in virtual clinical trials.

On the basis of region, global virtual clinical trials market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and MEA. North America dominated the global virtual clinical trials market. This is due to increasing R&D in the region, increased adoption of new technologies in clinical research, and government support.
