Employ decentralized trial solutions


Add hybrid elements to the traditional clinical trial model, such as eConsent, ePRO, eCOA and telemedicine technology, that together with our U.S.-based patient services centers and global home health services, can reduce the frequency of on-site visits and gather valuable patient data to inform decision making.


Stay nimble and quickly react to changing landscapes. We can empower your trial with valuable data:

  • Count and location of positive COVID-19 cases in the U.S.
  • Age distribution of patients who’ve had tests vs. tested positive
  • Patient characteristics
  • Test volumes by City/Zip Code
  • Individual physician test volume
  • Individual physician type
  • Identify patient clusters that meet inclusion/exclusion criteria
  • Fit your protocol to the patient, not the patient to the protocol
  • Create a data-driven strategy to maximize your recruitment potential
  • Incorporate home health visits and mobile sample collection
  • Partner with our local retail pharmacies and convenient diagnostic collection centers with 1,800+ LabCorp Patient Service Centers including more than 90 LabCorp-at-Walgreens locations
  • Streamline data collection – and the patient experience – with mobile apps, self-administered swab kits and connected device/wearable sensor solutions

Improve patient enrollment and retention while reducing the frequency of on-site visits and gather valuable patient data to inform decision making. Together, we can enable focused, efficient COVID-19 clinical trials.
