ClinOne's Video E-Consent: Helping Bring the Trial to the Patient

DENVER, January 16, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Informed consent is one of the most important aspects of clinical research ethics. Ensuring that the patient is protected and well informed is essential. Yet, it's estimated that more than 1/3 of all eligible patients for a clinical trial won't consent due to lack of understanding of the informed consent form. Further, an analysis of 483 letters issued to sites shows that almost half (48 percent) of these letters related to issues surrounding the informed consent process.

Clearly this speaks to a need for a better process. Enter ClinOne, a provider of mobile and web applications designed to enhance patient, caregiver and site engagement, and our newest offering, Video e-Consent.

What kinds of studies might benefit from use of ClinOne’s Video e-Consent?

·      Pediatric studies that require both parents to consent.

·      Rare disease trials where patients may travel long distances to/from the research site.

·      Those involving patients with limited mobility, such as ALS or MS who require special considerations, since every single visit presents significant physical challenges.

·      Complex trials where patients may be required to re-consent frequently.

“ClinOne’s Video e-Consent tool has the potential to significantly improve the consenting process for patients and sites, while helping to cut costs for sponsors and CROs,” says Rob Bohacs, CEO and co-founder of ClinOne.
