Why Patient Centricity Matters
Patient centricity has moved to the forefront as a far-reaching movement within clinical trials. Understanding the patient perspective is essential to advancing the patient experience.
Medidata builds technology for patients, inspired by patients. Structured around three core principles of patient centricity – design, engagement, and activation – our patient advocates are active participants in the development of our solutions.
As we improve the overall trial experience, we power patients, sites, and sponsors with the industry’s only end-to-end decentralized capabilities.
Watch our Patient Advocates on the future of decentralized trials.
