By Gil Bashe – When I discuss Healing the Sick Care System: Why People Matter with audiences, I expect nods of recognition acknowledging the mess and the hopelessness so many experience within today’s health system. I anticipate questions about what to do next and how to navigate a system that often feels stacked against both patients and professionals.
By Charles Castano – Clinical trial logistics is undergoing a profound digital transformation, moving from traditional manual processes toward integrated, technology-driven management systems that enhance efficiency, data integrity, and speed.
Clinical rotations sit at the center of health professional education, translating theory into real patient care; yet, the process of securing placements and preceptors has historically been fragmented, slow and uneven across regions and specialties.
By Jen Lamppa PhD – Clinical trials have a diversity problem. Despite years of effort, the participants in many studies still fail to reflect the true demographics of the populations they aim to serve. The consequences are profound: limited applicability of results, missed insights, and health inequities that persist across generations.
By Hilary Marston MD MPH & Kevin Bugin PhD – Breakthroughs in science and technology are advancing innovation in more areas of medicine, providing novel treatment options for patients. The scientific community has a deepening understanding of disease and human biology, and of the enormous potential afforded through new technologies.
By Wendy Morahan – Despite the critical nature of clinical trials in pharmaceutical research and development, trial stakeholders often struggle with managing scattered data across locations, systems and applications.
By Harsha K Rajasimha – AI is heralding a new era in drug development, promising groundbreaking solutions to longstanding challenges. Traditional clinical trials are often plagued by manual processes, leading to prolonged timelines and soaring costs.
By Hiren Thakkar – Inadequate ethnic diversity in clinical trials, tight eligibility criteria, delayed or missing prescription recommendations for certain communities, and access gaps affecting global health are all hot topics in academia, business, and government.
