USE CASE 4 — DECENTRALISED TRIALS (DCT)
Decentralised clinical trials
Meet patients where they are.
Decentralised and hybrid trials require flexible tools that support participation beyond the traditional site setting. crf.one’s mobile app and PRO module enable patients to report outcomes remotely, while site teams can enter and review study data from anywhere — including in low-connectivity environments with offline capability.
Key benefits
Mobile data collection · Patient-reported outcomes · Offline data capture and synchronisation · Remote data review · Biometric authentication
