How Wearable Tech Is Revolutionizing Clinical Trials

Pharmaceutical companies are now using smartwatches and fitness trackers to run clinical trials remotely, collecting real-world data from patients' daily lives. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how this shift is speeding up drug development, reducing costs, and giving researchers a more complete picture of how treatments work outside the lab. They discuss a recent example from a phase 3 respiratory drug trial where wearables replaced daily patient diaries, and look at the regulatory guidance the FDA has issued on digital endpoints. The hosts also touch on the challenges: data privacy, device compliance, and the need for validated algorithms. A clear, focused look at a quiet transformation in medicine. #WearableTech #ClinicalTrials #DrugDevelopment #DigitalHealth #Smartwatches #HealthTech #FDA #Pharmaceuticals #RealWorldData #RemoteMonitoring #Koneksa #AstraZeneca #Technology #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Innovation #Healthcare Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
