Overview
Although mHealth devices and sensors are continuing to evolve, and it is now possible to capture a vast array of physiological data, the operationalisation of a digital trial is not without challenges.
Now more than ever there is a need to generate data from connected devices that are robust, reliable, and relevant, of sufficient quality and ensuring minimal data loss. At the heart of the decision to use a digital device in a clinical programme is the study objective. However as more of these technologies are being used in clinical studies questions are arising as to how to ensure that the data generated by these devices can be validated and used to support endpoints.
We will propose that the application of COA principles and techniques can be applied to build the evidence package, when considering, the evidence required to support digital endpoints for their submission to regulatory bodies and reimbursement stakeholders.
In this webinar we will
- Present a strategy to identify devices that are “fit for purpose”.
- Outline a framework for Digital Endpoint selection and validation to ensure the outcome measurement is robust, reliable, and interpretable.
- Address the key considerations that arise when using digital technology to support endpoint generation in clinical studies such as Device Selection, Endpoint Reliability and Sensitivity, Meaningful Change Thresholds, and Analysis Strategy and Interpretation.
Target audience
- Clinical Operations
- COA / eCOA
- Real World Evidence
