PATIENT EXPERIENCE

Less Burden. Stronger Evidence.

Patient participation is harder than it should be. Repetitive data entry. Disconnected devices. Overwhelmed sites. Each friction point compounds the risk of dropout, further delaying study timelines.

Medidata Patient Experience makes it easier for patients to participate in clinical trials and for sites to manage them. By improving patient retention, supporting protocol compliance, and reducing administrative burden on sites, it helps trials run more smoothly while delivering high-quality, real-time data.

Video transcript: We aspire at Medidata and the patient experience, to make participation in clinical trials easier and to make it, super efficient and lower friction. If we can use tools to make it easy for patients to participate in that very complex study, that's really our end goal. To think about the patient's lived experience, and as I mentioned, how do we capture that experience, whether it's through sites or whether it's through patients directly, using digital tools and technologies is something that we have to think about. Again, with that goal of getting them to do the thing we need them to do. Better engagement, lower dropout. Lowering that friction, being empathetic to that patient, and getting them through the trial.

The Patient Experience across the Trial Journey

One Connected Ecosystem for the Entire Patient Journey.

The Patient Experience across the Trial Journey

Faster eCOA Study Build to Accelerate Time to First Patient In.

The Patient Experience across the Trial Journey

Higher Adherence. Real-Time Insights. Defensible Data.

Build & Start‑up

Designing the study around patient workflows from day one—clear consent, streamlined documentation, connected tools—builds trust early and drives faster activation, enrollment, and stronger retention.

Closeout & Post‑trial

The final experience shapes how your patients remember their trial participation—and whether they engage again. Clear closeout and continued connection turn a one-time participant into a longitudinal relationship.

From Pilots to Practice: Scaling AI Across Clinical Trials

AI is delivering measurable value in clinical trials—but as early adopters pull ahead, two-thirds of organizations remain trapped in exploration and pilots, held back by fragmented data, disconnected point solutions, and integration complexity.

FAQ

The Medidata Patient Experience is an end-to-end solution, built on a single, connected platform, that supports patients throughout the entire clinical trial journey.

From finding a study, consenting, traveling to sites or completing virtual visits, capturing data through assessments and connected devices and sensors, to receiving timely payments, patients stay connected through one account and a single experience, whether on web or app.

For sites and sponsors, the same connected experience means less administrative burden, more complete and reliable data, and stronger enrollment and retention throughout the trial.

Medidata Patient Experience brings flexibility to the clinical trial ecosystem, giving sponsors the freedom to build around their study, rather than around constraints defined by traditional vendors. Native integration with Rave and Clinical Data Studio connects eCOA, sensors, and other patient experience solutions across the Medidata Platform, while integration with non-Medidata technologies allows sponsors to work within their existing ecosystem. Patient Experience ultimately adapts to the needs, workflows, and operating model of each individual sponsor and study.

Better trial experiences start with understanding the needs of the patients who take part in them and the sites that run them every day. Medidata works directly with Medidata Patient and Site Insights Board, bringing their perspectives and voices into our product development cycle. This includes identifying unmet needs and friction points to shaping how our solutions are designed and delivered.

By weaving these insights into our development process, we help create experiences that are more intuitive, practical, and aligned with the realities of clinical trial participation. Minimizing unnecessary burden for patients and sites translates to better engagement, retention, and data quality.
