Dedicated home healthcare service during the Covid-19 pandemic

Dedicated home healthcare service during the Covid-19 pandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic is having an enormous impact on #clinicalTrials as most clinical development programs have been negatively affected due to travel restrictions, and other geographical and logistical challenges. With emerging new variants of #Coronavirus, and looking at recent global health statistics, the pandemic seems far from getting over, and it is believed that it will continue to haunt the industry in 2023 as well. Therefore, several sponsor companies and CROs have started considering more and more ‘decentralized’ and ‘patient-centric’ solutions. It is imperative that clinical trial protocols are designed to include flexibility and efficiency as well as ways to make clinical trials more convenient for participants. The use of a dedicated home healthcare service provider is one such example of it.

There are several benefits of involving home healthcare in a clinical trial, not only to all clinical trial participants but also to sponsor companies, and most importantly, the sites. Taking clinical trials to patients’ homes increases patient comfort, accessibility, and overall compliance with protocol requirements. The home healthcare element in a clinical trial not only reduces the patient drop-out rate but also reduces the sites’ burden significantly.
