Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCTs)
Inspired by Patients. Powered by Data. Securely Delivered to Scale.
Gain access to the most comprehensive decentralized clinical trial solution built from an ecosystem of tools, people, and processes that let patients, sites, and sponsors participate, contribute to, and monitor any clinical trials outside of a traditional investigative setting.
One Platform for Everyone
By unifying data capture tools and analytics on one platform, sponsors can access real-time intelligence into trial performance and data quality.
One Solution For Sites
With sites and patients on the same platform, sites have access to one system to view all patient data, eliminating the need for multiple applications and logins.
One Intuitive User Experience
A single intuitive dashboard for all clinical trial activities enhances the patient experience, while providing patients with a choice in how they participate.
An End-to-End DCT Solution
Patient Engagement in Clinical Trials
Patient Cloud is a suite of dynamic, patient-centric solutions that empowers people with choice so you can virtually recruit inclusive and diverse participants, keep them engaged throughout your trial, and produce better study results, and ultimately enhance the participant’s experience.

Remote Monitoring and Data Quality Oversight
DCTs present opportunities and challenges for clinical data collection and analysis. Medidata solves these challenges with capabilities for centralized, remote, and risk-based monitoring all on top of a unified data platform. Now you can take a flexible approach to clinical trial monitoring and data quality oversight, shifting from 100% on-site to remote activities, without sacrificing timelines, cost, or data quality.

Ease and Flexibility to Execute Direct-to-Patient (DtP) in Real-time
Rave RTSM has unsurpassed DtP capabilities giving sponsors and CROs the highest level of flexibility for decentralized and hybrid clinical trials. DtP can be enabled for any combination of sites and visits and provides sites the ability to determine the source of the patient’s dispensation.
In addition, patients confirm incoming shipments of IP using their myMedidata account.
DCT Strategic Design Methodology
Decentralized clinical trials are transforming clinical research by delivering better patient experiences and accelerating drug development. But where do you start?
