What experts say
“By understanding the people who are living with or at risk for the diseases we aim to treat, taking the time to consider their individual lifestyles and experiences and acting upon the insights we uncover, we will help people in an effective and compassionate manner.”
“COVID-19 has accelerated the shift towards decentralized clinical trial designs, allowing patients to participate in research without the usual burden of frequent in-clinic visits. As blood collection continues to be a barrier to scalable and affordable decentralization of biosample collection, a reliable and user-friendly blood collection device presents a unique value proposition to the clinical trial industry.”
“Since the start of the pandemic, health professionals and their patients have had to adapt to new ‘long distance’ virtual relationships. This has highlighted the urgent need to develop and use tools that enable patients to share their symptoms and objective outcome data remotely, allowing their health professionals to manage their condition safely and effectively.”
How BloodTrackR helps
For clinical trials, the convenience of virtual trial approaches can increase the number of patients willing and able to enroll.
WHAT PATIENTS SAY
“It will allow the patient to be more in control of their arthritis and how they cope with the diagnosis, as it can take many years to actually be comfortable with the disease and its symptoms, flares, medications, treatments and surgeries.”
“More regular monitoring would give me more confidence that my medication is working and when I should be seeking doctors’ advice if feeling unwell.”
“This could save me having to get taxis to get to my doctor so often for blood tests, great that you could do this at home.”
“If you’re not at the hospital with a flare up the doctor won’t see it; this way they could. I also need to have my bloods done regularly to get a fresh prescription, it would be a handier way to do this in my own time.”
“I could be fine for three months at a time, but it’s those random occasions it would be good to have a way to record flare up’s.”
“I want to improve myself and am keen to try new things to help my arthritis and others who suffer from it. Instead of being sent a letter to say my bloods are due, making an appointment and then travelling to the hospital, it would be great to have a way of keeping on top of my condition from home.”
