Now that it's possible to capture patient data electronically, a whole seam of dynamic new technologies is opening up on the health care horizon; nowhere more so than in the field of telecare.
Thanks to recent scientific advances - from the miniaturisation of electronics, through to increased computing power, radio-based technologies and the growing adoption of 'always on' broadband - we're moving swiftly towards a new future in health care. It's one where hundreds of devices around our homes and in other environments will be able to sense our everyday movement, carry out computational processing, and communicate with the agencies that provide care and emergency assistance. And it will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the way in which IT is used across the health care and pharmaceutical industries.

4th Annual Patient Recruitment and Retention in Clinical Trials
13-15 October 2008, Amsterdam
Patient recruitment
is now consuming thirty percent of clinical trial time - more time than any
other clinical trial activity - and almost half of all trial delays result from
patient recruitment problems.
As the
recruiting culture becomes more sophisticated and the forces affecting patient
enrollment grow more numerous and complex, pharmaceutical companies are
striving to discover new strategies to facilitate enrollment in clinical
trials.
With
increasing industry pressure to develop, test and market greater numbers of new
drugs faster, pharmaceutical companies need to perform clinical trials as
quickly as possible. Inefficient patient recruitment processes is a formidable
barrier to pharmaceutical companies' success in launching new products.
Improving the patient recruitment process is imperative to avoid wasted
investments and eliminate costly delays in bringing new drugs to market --
today and even more so in the not-so-distant future. Improved patient
recruitment presents one of the largest opportunities for pharmaceutical
companies to eliminate delays in clinical trials, thereby making it possible to
reduce time to market. With patent time limits and large overheads
meaning that any delays in the development timeline can be disastrous, a good
understanding of how to successfully recruit patients for trials is vital for
any company looking to succeed.
