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.
