Real Design Impact.

Read Fact Sheet

You can’t design patient-centric trials without leveraging real patient insights. 



The Medidata Patient Insights Program formalizes patient feedback and integrates it directly into product and protocol development.


As part of the Medidata Patient Experience, the Patient Insights Program embeds the patient perspective throughout the software development lifecycle, shaping solutions that reduce burden and strengthen engagement across clinical operations.

When the patient voice shapes trial design and technology, participation becomes clearer and less burdensome.

The Patient Insights Program embeds patient feedback directly into the tools they use, reducing burden, strengthening engagement, and improving the trial experience.

Video transcript: When sponsors are working with the patient insights team, I think they're genuinely surprised at how much information and expertise our patient insights team has. They are covering almost every disease that you can think of. We do this by reaching into our communities, by having an understanding of the fact that none of us sits there only representing ourself. We have a process where we have the patient advocates come into a patient design studio. This design studio gives us the opportunity to really dig in to issues that patients might be facing at a very specific point in their clinical trial journey. And it really allows our designers and developers to better understand the patient point of view. We intentionally put the patient's needs and listen to their input and add it to the solutions and devices we create. In the work that we've been doing with our clients, we've had the opportunity to really help them streamline the information that they're sharing with their patients. We are intentional about decreasing patient burden and increasing better health outcomes for our patients. We work to make sure that the patient point of view is understood by our designers and developers and that they have a better understanding of what a patient might go through in their clinical trial journey. Whether it's demographics, whether it's disease types, whether it's age, whatever it is, we're gonna make sure that we have enough people that can speak to the concerns of basically everyone. And of course, we're gonna be competitive in the market. We are metadata. We are putting patients at the center and we care. Patients matter.

Key Features of Patient Insights

Patient Insights Board

The Patient Insights Board is a multidisciplinary group of patient advocates and experts representing diverse therapeutic areas and lived experiences. They provide structured input and feedback that directly informs Medidata products and patient-facing initiatives.

Through the Patient Insights Program, you gain access to insights generated from this board, ensuring patient perspectives meaningfully shape solution design.

Patient Centricity by Design

Patient Insight Studios are structured workshops that bring Patient Insights Board members together with Medidata teams to guide protocol development and patient-facing solutions.

Sessions may be multi-day, in-person engagements, or single-day virtual workshops—each designed to translate patient input into practical design decisions.

Built for Patients, by Patients

Patient Centricity by Design is the IDEO-led methodology used by the Medidata Patient Experience team to transform patient insights into defined, actionable elements within product development.

It ensures patient feedback is systematically integrated into how solutions are built and refined.
