Clinical research blog
Explore our blog for insights into the big questions in precision medicine and clinical research.
With 40% of patients enrolled in clinical trials dropping out prior to study completion, patient engagement and retention is becoming an increasingly crucial aspect of the clinical research process. The most convenient and effective patient engagement solutions today take advantage of technology to deliver personalised resources and support, whilst also improving patient outcomes and streamlining the clinical trial process. For example, some of the most frequently-used patient engagement technology includes digital health platforms, gamification, AI-powered chatbots and predictive analytics, telehealth, and patient portals.
This webinar, hosted by Patrick Short, CEO of Sano Genetics, and featuring Lindsey Wahlstrom-Edwards, Partnerships Lead at Sano Genetics, focused on the challenges patient organisations face in supporting innovation while also keeping patient health information safe.
MASH (Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis) is a chronic liver disease that has gained significant attention from the pharmaceutical industry and clinical societies in the last decade. In this webinar, Dimitar Tonev, a trained hepatologist and an expert in chronic liver diseases, chatted with Patrick Short, CEO of Sano Genetics, to provide insights into the challenges and opportunities in developing drugs for MASH.
This webinar was hosted by Paul Wicks and featured Sano CEO Patrick Short, Rakhi Rajani from Genomics England, and Julian Hastings Ward who chairs the participant panel for Genomics England.
This webinar, hosted by Patrick Short, CEO of Sano Genetics, and featuring Dr. Mark Kotter, CEO of bit.bio, focused on precision medicine in multiple sclerosis. The conversation ranged from stem cells and the effect they can have on neurodegenerative disease like multiple sclerosis to the future of synthetic biology.
This webinar, hosted by Sano Genetics and featuring representatives from Newcastle University, Congenica, UK CRC Tissue Directory and Co-ordination Centre and Sano Genetics, focussed on the topic of diversity in clinical trials. The speakers discussed how to promote diversity in research participation, the importance of patient engagement and involvement, and how to flag potential issues earlier in the research process.
This webinar was hosted by Sano Genetics' scientific advisor, Paul Wicks, and featured representatives from Genomics England as well as Sage Bionetworks. The discussion centered around experiences and insights on patient engagement in precision medicine research, including how patients can be more involved in this type of research, as well as how design systems can impact engagement.
This webinar, hosted by Paul Wicks featuring Craig Lipset and Liam Eves focussed on some of the major challenges of decentralized and hybrid clinical trials, solutions to overcome them, and some practical examples.
In this webinar, Patrick Short (Co-Founder and CEO at Sano Genetics) and Will Jones (Co-Founder and CTO at Sano Genetics) discuss the technical challenges of biomarker-based pre-screening. Patrick and Will touch on the importance of running large-scale clinical research programs that are focused on biomarkers, the challenges of finding a central source of truth for participant numbers, how best to ensure compliance across different jurisdictions, and how to engage participants in long-term programs.
In this blog we explore the impact of COVID-19 on clinical trial recruitment, the role of patient-centricity in creating long-term engagement and more.
