TORONTO, Ontario, March 23, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — It is notoriously difficult to conduct studies with cohorts of young children and their caregivers. The collection of accurate data from pediatric clinical trials suffers from both subjectivity in patient-reported outcomes and high dropout rates due to heavy patient burden. The decentralization of certain trial components represents a step in the right direction. But much remains to be done if this busy cohort is expected to raise their hands for participation.

This webinar discusses methods to mitigate the many challenges that are characteristic to pediatric clinical trials. Panelists will share their recent experiments that use artificial intelligence (AI) and image and audio capture to lighten patient burden. They will share the results of recently published research comparing caregiver and expert ratings to reduce bias in outcomes measurement in pediatrics and beyond. Attendees will have a front row seat to the future of pediatric clinical research that is just around the corner.

Join this webinar as pediatric researchers, clinical practitioners and digital technology experts discuss the new technologies for clinical trials. These new technologies are creating a virtuous cycle between patient-centric clinical trials and real-world impacts in clinical practice.

Join Jaya Punati, MD, Medical Director, Pediatric Colorectal and Pelvic Malformation Center, Associate Director of Clinical Operations, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles; and Susan Dallabrida, PhD, Chief Executive Officer, SPRIM Global; as well as experts from ObvioHealth, Brian Cohn, PhD, Director of Research; and Hawley Linke, PhD, Senior Vice President of Scientific Affairs, for the live webinar on Thursday, April 14, 2022 at 10am EDT (3pm BST/UK).
