RPM for Clinical Trials
Monitoring the effects of clinical trials
Clinical trials are essential to the evolution of modern medicine and healthcare and are used to test, evaluate, and study a huge range of potential solutions, protocols, and medications. Researchers conduct trials based on variable subjects, assessing a diverse array of outcomes based on medical devices, drugs, and dietary programs.
Investigators working on clinical trials incorporate Wanda Health RPM to extract patient data from inside and outside of clinical settings. Participants remain independent and can live in the convenience of their homes while providing the vital data needed to complete a clinical trial successfully.

Why Wanda RPM for Clinical Trials
At any one time, there may be as many as 500,000 ongoing clinical trials within the US and other countries – making it important to find ways to make these studies more accurate, timely, and cost-efficient.
RPM is ideally suited to large-scope clinical trials and studies involving small, highly targeted patient cohorts. Rather than requiring participants to remain in controlled environments for the duration of the study, research teams can continue to log and track data and monitor patient responses over a longer period.
This approach reduces the cost and inconvenience of requiring patients to attend daily or frequent appointments or to reside in a medical facility – making it easier for investigators to recruit participants and explore clinical trial theories.
Digital solutions are becoming more widely used across all types of clinical trials, with the accuracy and reliability of RPM devices being a great way to observe best practices in terms of patient safety, data quality, and research integrity.

The Benefits of Using Wanda Health RPM for Clinical Trial Monitoring
Clinical trials are subject to intense scrutiny, rigid testing requirements, and standards around the reliability and accuracy of the data used to draw conclusions or map results. RPM is an advanced, data-led approach that integrates into this environment seamlessly.
For Patients
Being invited to participate in a clinical trial can be an opportunity to inform future medical techniques and help researchers find better, safer, or faster ways to manage chronic conditions or treat diseases.
However, some trials may be more complex to initiate where the requirements are obstacles to patient recruitment. Many of those controls are linked to the standards we’ve mentioned around the quality of data used – whereas RPM devices can offer electronic one-touch readings that are not exposed to human error.
Patients who consent to their data being used within a clinical trial can provide measurements through a user-friendly device, submit readings daily with minimal time requirements, and access educational resources and communications through our virtual care platform.
Instead of needing to attend on-site facilities to provide the data used within a clinical trial, a participant can simply connect their device and activate a reading – making participation far easier, without travel time, costs, or physician appointments.
For Healthcare Organizations
Any organization or research team conducting a clinical trial needs to balance cost against efficiency and patient safety. Researchers incorporating RPM do not need to allocate time to patient testing and can instead focus directly on data analysis and tracking – which, in turn, significantly reduces the cost of a clinical trial.
In some trials, there are additional advantages in terms of disease containment and reducing the risk of infection, both for researchers and for patients for whom a clinical environment may be considered high risk.
The primary benefit is the ability to recruit participants from broad patient demographics while augmenting engagement in the process by liaising and providing updates through the virtual care platform.
A survey conducted in 2021 within the US showed that 54% of people would consent to participation in a clinical trial, provided they were not expected to travel for over 30 minutes. Only 29% indicated that they would consider contributing to a clinical trial if the time requirements were greater.
